प्रश्न
The angle of elevation of the top of a hill at the foot of a tower is 60° and the angle of elevation of the top of the tower from the foot of the hill is 30°. If height of the tower is 50 m, find the height of the hill.
उत्तर
Let AB be the tower and CD be the hill
In ΔABD
`tan 30^@ = (AB)/(BD)`
`=> 1/sqrt3 = 50/(BD)`
`=> BD = 50sqrt3`
In ΔCDB
`tan 60^@ = (CD)/(BD)`
`=> sqrt3 = (CD)/(50sqrt3)`
=> CD = 150
Therefore, the height of the hill is 150 m

We all have seen the airplanes flying in the sky but might have not thought of how they actually reach the correct destination. Air Traffic Control (ATC) is a service provided by ground-based air traffic controllers who direct aircraft on the ground and through a given section of controlled airspace, and can provide advisory services to aircraft in non-controlled airspace. Actually, all this air traffic is managed and regulated by using various concepts based on coordinate geometry and trigonometry.
At a given instance, ATC finds that the angle of elevation of an airplane from a point on the ground is 60°. After a flight of 30 seconds, it is observed that the angle of elevation changes to 30°. The height of the plane remains constantly as `3000sqrt(3)` m. Use the above information to answer the questions that follow-
- Draw a neat labelled figure to show the above situation diagrammatically.
- What is the distance travelled by the plane in 30 seconds?
OR
Keeping the height constant, during the above flight, it was observed that after `15(sqrt(3) - 1)` seconds, the angle of elevation changed to 45°. How much is the distance travelled in that duration. - What is the speed of the plane in km/hr.
