प्रश्न
A tree is broken by the wind. The top of that tree struck the ground at an angle of 30° and at a distance of 30. Find the height of the whole tree
उत्तर
Let AB represents the unbroken part and AC represent the broken part of the tree. The top of the tree (T) touches the ground at C.
BC = 30 cm, `angleACB = 30^@`
Total height of the tree = AB + AT = AB + AC .....(1)
In right angles `triangleABC`,
`tan angleACB = "AB"/"BC"`
`:. tan30^@ = "AB"/"BC"`
`:. 1/sqrt3 = (AB)/30`
`:. AB = 30/sqrt3 m` ......(2)
Also `cos angleACB = (BC)/(AC)`
`:. cos30^@ = (BC)/(AC)`
`:. sqrt3/3 = 30/(AC)`
`:.AC = 30 xx 2/sqrt3`
`:. AC = 60/sqrt3`
`:. AT = 60/sqrt3` ...(3)
Height of the tree = AB + AT ...[From (1)]
`= 30/sqrt3 + 60/sqrt3` ...[From (2) and (3)]
`=(30+60)/sqrt3 = 90/sqrt3 = 90/sqrt3 xx sqrt3/sqrt3 = (90sqrt3)/3`
∴ the height of the tree = `30sqrt3` m
= `30 xx 1.73 m` = 51.90 m
The height of the whole tree is 51.90 m.

From the top of building AB, a point C is observed on the ground whose angle of depression is 60° and which is at a distance of 40 m from the base of the building. Complete the following activity to find the height of building AB.
From figure, BC = `square`, ∠ACB = `square`
In ΔACB,
tan `square = square/(BC)`
⇒ `square = square/square`
⇒ `square = square`
Hence, the height of the building AB is `square`.
