A kite is flowing at a height of 75 cm from the level ground, attached to a string inclined at 60˚ to the horizontal. The length of string with no slack in it, is
Consider, the situation in the form of a triangle ABC where A is the kite and AC shows the height of kite i.e.
AC = 75 cm
And
AB be the string with angle of inclination i.e.
∠CAB = θ = 60°
We have to find length of string i.e. AB
Clearly, ABC is a right – angled triangle
So, we have
On cross multiplying we get,
On rationalizing we get,
