प्रश्न

From the top of a tree of height 13 m the angle of elevation and depression of the top and bottom of another tree are 45° and 30° respectively. Find the height of the second tree. `(sqrt(3) = 1.732)`

बेरीज

उत्तर

Let the height of the second tree be “h”

ED = (h – 13) m

Let AB = x m

In the right ∆ABC, tan 30° = `"BC"/"AB"`

`1/sqrt(3) = 13/x`

x = `13sqrt(3)`  ...(1)


In the right ∆CED, tan 45° = `"DE"/"EC"`

1 = `("h" - 13)/x`

x = h – 13  ...(2)

From (1) and (2) we get

h – 13 = `13sqrt(3)`

⇒ h = `13sqrt(3) + 13`

= 13 × 1.732 + 13

= 22.52 + 13

= 35.52 m

∴ Height of the second tree = 35.52 m

Read the following passage:

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:

  1. Find the length of the wire from the point O to the top of Section B.
