The angle of elevation of an aircraft from a point K on the horizontal ground…

The angle of elevation of an aircraft from a point K on the horizontal ground 30(alpha). If the aircraft is 800m above the ground, how far is it from K?
  • A.
    400.00m
  • B.
    692.82m
  • C.
    923.76m
  • D.
    1,600.99m
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

In (bigtriangleup)KBC, sin 30 = (frac{800}{IKCI})
IKCL = (frac{800}{sin30^o})
= (frac{800}{0.5})
= 1600m
