Question

The kite string is 65 m long and makes an angle of 32° with the ground. How do you calculate the vertical height of the kite to the nearest meter?

Answer 1

Height of kite is `34` meters.

Explanation:

Let the height of the kite be `h` meters.

As the angle formed by kite with ground is `32^@`

we have `h/65=sin32^@=0.5299`

and `h=65xx0.5299=34.4448`

and to nearest meter it is `34` meters
