  1. Question 1

    Q1. A kite is flying at an angle of elevation of 60° with the ground. If 100 m of string is out, find the height of the kite.

    • A) 50√3 m
    • B) 86.6 m
    • C) 100 m
    • D) 50 m

    Answer: 86.6 m

    Explanation: sin 60° = height / 100, so height = 100 * sin 60° = 100 * √3 / 2 = 86.6 m.
