प्रश्न
A person is standing at a distance of 80 m from a church looking at its top. The angle of elevation is of 45°. Find the height of the church.
उत्तर
Let AB be the church and C be the position of the person from the church.
Suppose the height of the church be h m. 
In right ∆ABC,
\[\tan45^\circ = \frac{AB}{BC}\]
\[ \Rightarrow 1 = \frac{h}{80}\]
\[ \Rightarrow h = 80\] m
Thus, the height of the church is 80 m.

Lakshaman Jhula is located 5 kilometers north-east of the city of Rishikesh in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. The bridge connects the villages of Tapovan to Jonk. Tapovan is in Tehri Garhwal district, on the west bank of the river, while Jonk is in Pauri Garhwal district, on the east bank. Lakshman Jhula is a pedestrian bridge also used by motorbikes. It is a landmark of Rishikesh. A group of Class X students visited Rishikesh in Uttarakhand on a trip. They observed from a point (P) on a river bridge that the angles of depression of opposite banks of the river are 60° and 30° respectively. The height of the bridge is about 18 meters from the river. |
