Practicing Success
A kite is flying at a height of 123 m. The thread attached to it is assumed to be stretched straight and makes an angle of \({60}^\circ\) with the level ground. The length of the string is (nearest to a whole number): |
140 m 139 m 142 m 138 m |
142 m |
⇒ sin\({60}^\circ\) = \(\frac{123}{AC}\) ⇒ \(\frac{√3}{2}\) = \(\frac{123}{AC}\) ⇒ AC = \(\frac{123 × 2}{√3}\) = 142 m. Therefore, length of string is near to 142 m. |
