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?
400.00m
692.82m
923.76m
1,600.00m
Explanation
In \(\bigtriangleup\)KBC, sin 30 = \(\frac{800}{IKCI}\)
IKCL = \(\frac{800}{sin30^o}\)
= \(\frac{800}{0.5}\)
= 1600m
