Seema flies a kite on a 16 m string at an inclination of 60o. What is the height (h) of the kite above the ground?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e 8√(3) m
In the given right-angled triangle, the angle subtended is 60o, the length of the string is 16m.
⇒ Sinθ = Perpendicular/Hypotenuse
⇒ Sin60o = Perpendicular/16
⇒ (√3)/2 = Perpendicular/16
⇒ Perpendicular = 8√(3)m
