प्रश्न
From a point on the ground, 20 m away from the foot of a vertical tower, the angle elevation of the top of the tower is 60°, What is the height of the tower?
उत्तर
Let AB be the height of tower is h meters.
Given that: angle of elevation is 60° and `BC=20` meters.
Here we have to find height of tower.
So we use trigonometric ratios.
In a triangle `ABC`,
`⇒ tan C=(AB)/(BC)`
`⇒ tan 60°=h/20 [∵ tan 60°=sqrt3]`
`⇒ sqrt 3=h/20`
`⇒ h= 20sqrt3`
Hence height of tower is `20sqrt3`

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. |
