Consider an rt. angled triangle ABC with angle ACB = 90 and angle CAB = 40.
\n" ); document.write( " Since his hand is 2ms high from the ground , the height of the kite is
\n" ); document.write( " \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " BC = 30 sin 40 + 2
\n" ); document.write( " = 30 (0.6428 ) + 2
\n" ); document.write( " = 19.284 + 2
\n" ); document.write( " = 21.284 m
