Question:

A kite is flying at a height of 45√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:

45 m

60 m

90 m

45√3 m

Correct Answer:

90 m

Explanation:

AC = length of string

θ = 60°

Now,

sin 60° = \(\frac{AB}{AC}\)

\(\frac{\sqrt {3}}{2}\) = \(\frac{45\sqrt {3}}{AC}\)

AC = 2 × (45) = 90 m
