Question

The length of a string between a kite and a point on the ground is 90 metres. If the string makes an angle ‹‹‹‹‹‹ˆθ with the ground level such that tan θ = 15/8, how high is the kite? Assume that there is no slack in the string.

Answer 1

Let be the kite of height m and the length of string between kite and a point on the ground is meters. Someters and

Now we have to find the height of kite.

We have the corresponding figure as follows

Given that:

Again,

Now, in a triangle

Hence the height kite is meters.
