Question

The string of a kite is 100 m long and it makes an angle of ${60}^{\circ }$ with the horizontal. Find the height of the kite assuming that there is no slack in the string.

Answer 1

We have to find the height of the kite, i.e., $h$

length of the string is given to be $100m$

$\therefore$ In $△ABC$,

$\sin {60}^o=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{h}{100}$

$\Rightarrow$ $h=50\sqrt{3}=86.5m$
