Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "Consider this as a right
\n" ); document.write( "angled triangle.
\n" ); document.write( "String is the hypotenuse
\n" ); document.write( "The height of the kite from
\n" ); document.write( "the ground is the opposite side.
\n" ); document.write( "Sin(x) = Opposite/Hypotenuse
\n" ); document.write( "sin(61) = Opposite/260
\n" ); document.write( "Opposite = sin(61) x 260 = 227.4m
\n" ); document.write( "So, the height = 227.4m
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-)\r
