Question

1. Samuel is out with a kite. When he takes a break he attaches it to the floor. The kite is on a thread that is 16 meters long and makes a 30 degrees angle with the floor. How high above the floor is the kite?

Answer 1

`h=8m`

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Slant height
`S=16meters`

Angle
`\theta =30`

Generally the equation for Height h is mathematically given by

`h=Ssin\theta`

`h=16*sin30`

`h=8m`
