The horizontal distance between two poles is 15 m. The angle of depression of the top of first pole as seen from the top of second pole is 30°. If the height of the second pole is 24 m, find the height of the first pole. Use`[sqrt3=1.732]`
उत्तर
Let AB and CD be two poles, where CD = 24 m.
It is given that angle of depression of the top of the pole AB as seen from the top of the pole CD is 30° and horizontal distance between the two poles is 15 m.
∴ ∠CAL = 30° and BD = 15 m.
To find: Height of pole AB
Let the height of pole AB be h m.
AL = BD = 15 m and AB = LD = h
Therefore, CL = CD − LD = 24 − h
Consider right ΔACL:
`tan angleCAL =\text{perpendicular}/\text{Base}=(CL)/(AL)`
`rArrtan 30^o=(24-h)/15`
`rArr 24-h=15/sqrt3`
`rArr24-h=5sqrt3`
`rArrh=24-5sqrt3`
`rArrh=24-5xx1.732` `[\text{Taking}sqrt3=1.732]`
`rArrh=15.34`
Therefore, height of the pole AB = h m = 15.34 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.

Radio towers are used for transmitting a range of communication services including radio and television. The tower will either act as an antenna itself or support one or more antennas on its structure; On a similar concept, a radio station tower was built in two Sections A and B. Tower is supported by wires from a point O. Distance between the base of the tower and point O is 36 cm. From point O, the angle of elevation of the top of the Section B is 30° and the angle of elevation of the top of Section A is 45°.
