प्रश्न
A kite is flying at a height of 30 m from the ground. The length of string from the kite to the ground is 60 m. Assuming that there is no slack in the string, the angle of elevation of the kite at the ground is
पर्याय
A. 45°
B. 30°
C. 60°
D. 90°
उत्तर
Let A be the position of the kite and AC be the length of the string of the kite.
Suppose θ be the angle of elevation of the kite at the ground.
It is given that, AB = 30 m and AC = 60 m.
In right ΔABC:
`sinO/= (AB)/(AC)` `[therefore=(\text{Perpendicular})/(text{Hypotenuse})]`
`thereforesinO/=30/60`
`rArrsinO/=1/2`
`rArr sinO/=sin30^@`
`rArrsinO/=sin30^@`
`rArr=O/=30^@`
Thus, the angle of elevation of the kite at the ground is 30°.
Hence, the correct answer is B

Qutub Minar, located in South Delhi, India was built in the year 1193. It is 72 m high tower. Working on a school project, Charu and Daljeet visited the monument. They used trigonometry to find their distance from the tower. Observe the picture given below. Points C and D represent their positions on the ground in line with the base of tower, the angles of elevation of top of the tower (Point A) are 60° and 45° from points C and D respectively.
