प्रश्न
Two buildings are in front of each other on a road of width 15 meters. From the top of the first building, having a height of 12 meter, the angle of elevation of the top of the second building is 30°.What is the height of the second building?
उत्तर
Let AB and CD be the two building standing on the road.
Suppose the height of the second building be h m.
Here, AB = 12 m, BD = 15 m, ∠CAE = 30º and AE ⊥ CD.
CE = CD − ED = (h − 12) m (ED = AB)
AE = BD = 15 m
In right ∆AEC,
\[\tan30^\circ = \frac{CE}{AE}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{h - 12}{15}\]
\[ \Rightarrow h - 12 = \frac{15}{\sqrt{3}} = 5\sqrt{3}\]
\[ \Rightarrow h = \left( 12 + 5\sqrt{3} \right) m\]
Thus, the height of the second building is
\[\left( 12 + 5\sqrt{3} \right)\] m.

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°.
