Question:

The string of a kite is 100 meter long and it makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. Find the height of the kite from ground.

Options:

100 m

50 m

60 m

48 m

Correct Answer:

50 m

Explanation:

We know , sinθ = \(\frac{P}{H}\)

= \(\frac{P}{100}\)

{ using , sin 30º = \(\frac{1}{2}\) }

\(\frac{P}{100}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

P = 50

P = AB = 50 m

So, height of kite from ground = 50 m
