Answer:
The height is: [tex]h = 51.96cm[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]L = 60m[/tex]
[tex]\theta = 60[/tex]
Required
The height of the kite
See attachment for illustration.
To calculate height (h), we have:
[tex]\sin(\theta) = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]
This gives
[tex]\sin(60) = \frac{h}{60}[/tex]
Make h the subject
[tex]h = 60 * \sin(60)[/tex]
[tex]h = 60 * 0.8660[/tex]
[tex]h = 51.96cm[/tex]
