Question:

A balloon is flying at a height of 60√3 m. The thread attached to it is assumed to be stretched straight and makes an angle of 60° with the level ground. The length of the string is?

Options:

90m

100m

110m

120m

Correct Answer:

120m

Explanation:

AC = length of string

θ = 60°

Now,

sin 60° = \(\frac{AB}{AC}\)

\(\frac{\sqrt {3}}{2}\) = \(\frac{60\sqrt {3}}{AC}\)

AC = 2 × (60) = 120m
