Question:

A kite is attached to a string. Find the length of the string (in m) when the height of the kite is 90 m and the string makes an angle of 30° with the ground.

Options:

180

$90\sqrt{3}$

45

$60\sqrt{3}$

Correct Answer:

180

Explanation:

⇒ Sin \({30}^\circ\) = \(\frac{90}{AC}\)

⇒ \(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{90}{AC}\)

⇒ AC = 90 x 2

AC = 180m.
