प्रश्न
A TV tower stands vertically on a bank of a river/canal. From a point on the other bank directly opposite the tower, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is 60°. From a point 20 m away this point on the same bank, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is 30°. Find the height of the tower and the width of the river/canal.
उत्तर
Let AB be the TV tower of height hm on a bank of river/canal and D be the point on the opposite of the river/canal. An angle of elevation at the top of the tower is 60° and from a point 20 m away, an angle of elevation of the tower at the same point is 30°. Let AB = h and BC = x.
Here we have to find the height and width of the river/canal.
The corresponding figure is here
In ΔCAB
`=> tan 60^@ = ("AB")/("BC")`
`=> sqrt3 = h/x`
`=> sqrt3x = h`
`=> x = h/sqrt3`
Again in ΔDBA
`=> tan 30^@ = ("AB")/("BC")`
`=> 1/sqrt3 = h/(20 + x)`
`=> sqrt3h = 20 + x`
`=> sqrt3h = 20 + h/sqrt3`
`=> sqrt3h - h/sqrt3 = 20`
`=> (2h)/sqrt3 = 20`
`=> h = 10sqrt3`
`=> x = (10sqrt3)/sqrt3`
⇒ x = 10
Hence the height of the tower is `10sqrt3` m and width of river/canal is 10 m.

A Technician has to repair light on a pole of height 10 m. She needs to reach a point 1 m below the top of the pole to undertake the repair work. What should be the length of the ladder that she should use which, when inclined at an angle of 60∘ to the ground, would enable her to reach the required position? Also, how far from the foot of the pole should she place the foot of the ladder?
If the height of a tower and the distance of the point of observation from its foot, both, are increased by 10%, then the angle of elevation of its top remains unchanged.
