प्रश्न
An observer, 1.5 m tall, is 28.5 m away from a tower 30 m high. Determine the angle of elevation of the top of the tower from his eye.
उत्तर
Let BE be the observer of 1.5 m tall. And AD be the tower of height 30. Here we have to find the angle of elevation of the top of the tower.
Let ∠ABC = θ
The corresponding figure is as follows
In ΔABC
`=> tan theta = (AC)/(BC)`
`=> tan theta = 28.5/28.5`
`=> tan theta = 1`
`=> theta = 45^@`
Hence the required angle is 45°

One evening, Kaushik was in a park. Children were playing cricket. Birds were singing on a nearby tree of height 80m. He observed a bird on the tree at an angle of elevation of 45°. When a sixer was hit, a ball flew through the tree frightening the bird to fly away. In 2 seconds, he observed the bird flying at the same height at an angle of elevation of 30° and the ball flying towards him at the same height at an angle of elevation of 60°.
