प्रश्न
A kite tied to a string makes an angle of 60° with the ground. Find the perpendicular height of the kite if the length of its string is 250 m.
उत्तर
Let K be the kite and the string is tied to point P on ground.
In ΔKLP
`"KL"/"KP"` = `sin60^circ`
`h/250 = sqrt(3)/2`
`h = (250sqrt(3))/2 = 125sqrt(3)`
Thus , the perpendicular height of the kite is `125sqrt(3)` m .
