A kite flies on a taut string of length 50m inclined at tan angle 54o to the horizontal ground. The height of the kite above the ground is
A
50 tan 30o
B
50 sin 54o
C
50 tan 54o
D
50 sin 36o
Verified Correct Answer: B.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
From the diagram above,
Sin 54º = \(\frac{\text{OPP}}{\text{HYP}}\)
Sin 54º = \(\frac{\text{x}}{50}\)
x = 50 Sin 54º
