Question 25
TrigonometryA kite flies on a taut string of length 50 m inclined at an angle of 54° to the horizontal ground. The height of the kite above the ground is
- A.50 tan 36°
- B.50 sin 54°
- C.50 tan 54°
- D.50 sin 36°
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: B (50 sin 54°)
Explanation
The string is the hypotenuse and the height is opposite the 54° angle: h = 50 sin 54°.
