Answer:

Height of the kite = 86.60 meter (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of elevation to see a kite from a stone lying to the ground is 60 degrees. If a thread is tied with a kite and a stone, then that thread is 100 meters long, find the height of the kite.

Given:

Length of thread = 100 meter

Angle of elevation = 60°

Find:

Height of the kite.

Computation:

Using trigonometry application:

Height of the kite / Length of thread = Sin 60°

Height of the kite / 100 = √3 / 2

Height of the kite = [√3 / 2]100

Height of the kite = 50√3

Height of the kite = 86.60 meter (Approx)
