Kite String Length 840928
1. **Problem Statement:** A kite is flying at a height of 75 m from the ground, attached to a string inclined at 60° to the horizontal. Find the length of the string to the nearest meter.
2. **Formula and Explanation:** We use the trigonometric relation in a right triangle: $$\sin \theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$$ where the opposite side is the height of the kite (75 m), the hypotenuse is the length of the string (let it be $L$), and $\theta = 60^\circ$ is the angle of inclination.
3. **Calculation:**
$$\sin 60^\circ = \frac{75}{L}$$
We know $\sin 60^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \approx 0.866$.
So,
$$0.866 = \frac{75}{L} \implies L = \frac{75}{0.866}$$
4. **Simplify:**
$$L \approx 86.6$$
5. **Final answer:** The length of the string is approximately **87 meters**.
