sir this is the question from the book -ML aggarwal( avichal publication) class 10th ,
chapter20 , heights and distances
we have been given as a information that a boy is flying a kite with a string of length 100 m.
If the string is tight and the angle of elevation of the kite is 260 32’,
now we have to find the height of the kite correct to one decimal place, (ignore the height of the boy).

  1. Consider AB as the height of the kite A and AC as the string

    Angle of elevation of the kite = 260 32’

    ML Aggarwal Solutions for Class 10 Chapter 20 Image 8

    Take AB = x m and AC = 100 m

    We know that

    sin θ = AB/AC

    Substituting the values

    sin 260 32’ = x/100

    So we get

    0.4467 = x/100

    By further calculation

    x = 100 × 0.4467

    x = 44.67 = 44.7 m

    Hence, the height of the kite is 44.7 m.
