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`

If the height of a tower and the distance of the point of observation from its foot, both, are increased by 10%, then the angle of elevation of its top remains unchanged.
From the top of building AB, a point C is observed on the ground whose angle of depression is 60° and which is at a distance of 40 m from the base of the building. Complete the following activity to find the height of building AB.
From figure, BC = `square`, ∠ACB = `square`
In ΔACB,
tan `square = square/(BC)`
⇒ `square = square/square`
⇒ `square = square`
Hence, the height of the building AB is `square`.
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. |

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°.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
- Find the length of the wire from the point O to the top of Section B.
- Find the distance AB.
OR
Find the area of ∠OPB. - Find the height of the Section A from the base of the tower.
