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