A kite is flying at an angle of elevation of 30°. If the length of the string is 100 m, how high is the kite above the ground?
Q1. A kite is flying at an angle of elevation of 30°. If the length of the string is 100 m, how high is the kite above the ground?
Answer: 50 m
Explanation: The sine of 30° equals the ratio of the height of the kite to the length of the string. Since sin(30°) = 0.5, the height is 100 * 0.5 = 50 m, applying the formula sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse.
