Seema flies a kite on a 16 m string at an inclination of $$60^{0}$$. What is the height (h) of the kite above the ground?
sin$$\theta$$ = perpendicular/hypotenuse
 sin60$$\degree$$ = height/16
$$\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$$ = height/16
Height = 8$$\sqrt3$$
$$\therefore$$ Kite is 8$$\sqrt3$$ m above of the ground.
