A string of a kite is 100 m long and it makes an angle of measure 60 with the horizontal. Find the height of the kite, assuming that there is no slack in the string.
Let PR be the string of a kite P and QR be the horizontal direction.

PR = 100 m
∠PQR = 90⁰
∠PRQ = 60⁰
PQ = Height of the kite
In ∆PQR,

PQ = 50√3
= 50 × 1.73
= 86.5 m
The height of a kite is 86.5 m.
