Q5 of 107 Page 12

A kite is flying at a height of 75 metres from the ground level, attached to a string inclined at 60° to the horizontal. Find the length of the string to the nearest metre.

Let the length of the wire = l (m)


In ∆ABC,


Sin 60° =


=


= 2×75



l =


l = ⇒ ⇒ 50√3 ⇒ 86.6 m.


Therefore length of string is 86.6 m.

A vertical tower stands on a horizontal plane and is surmounted by a vertical flag-staff. At a point on the plane 70 metres away from the tower, an observer notices that the angles of elevation of the top and the bottom of the flag-staff are respectively 60° and 45°. Find the height of the flag-staff and that of the tower.
