Height at which kite flying = 138m
Calculation:
Triangle is formed with the height at which the kite flies as the height of the triangle, the Length of string as one side of the triangle, and the horizontal as the base of the triangle.
The triangle is 45 - 45 - 90 triangle.
⇒ sin 45 = (height at which kite fly)/(Length of string)
⇒ 1/√2 = 138m/length of string
⇒ length of sting = 195.16 ≈ 195m
∴ The approximate length of the string is 195m.
