    Answer : The angle between the string and the horizontal is 30 degrees

    Explanation: Imagine this a a triangle where the length of the string (200m) is the hypotenuse and the height of the kite is the opposite side (100m).

    Let the angle between the string and the horizontal be theta.

    Now sin (Theta) = opposite side/hypotenuse

    = 100/200 = 1/2

    Therefore Theta = Sin ⁻¹ (1/2)

    Theta = 30 degrees
