Q5 of 25 Page 9

A kite is flying at a height of 50√3 m from the horizontal. It is attached with a string and makes an angle 60° with the horizontal. Find the length of the string.

To find: The length of the string.


Formula Used:



Explanation:



AC is the height of kite.


So,





= 100 m


Hence the length of string is 100m.
