Question : A kite is flying at a height of 50 metres. If the length of the string is 100 metres, then the inclination of the string to the horizontal ground in degree measure is:
Option 1: 90°
Option 2: 60°
Option 3: 45°
Option 4: 30°
Correct Answer: 30°
Solution : Given: A kite is flying at a height of 50 metres. The length of the string is 100 metres. We know that $\sin\theta=\frac{\text{perpendicular}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$ $\text{Hypotenuse}$ = 100 m $\text{Perpendicular}$ = 50 m ⇒ $\sin\theta=\frac{50}{100}$ ⇒ $\sin\theta=\frac{1}{2}$ ⇒ $\sin\theta=\sin30°$ ⇒ $\theta=30°$ Hence, the correct answer is 30°.
