प्रश्न

The angle of elevation on the top of a building from the foot of a tower is 30° . The angle of elevation of the top of the tower when seen from the top of the second water is 60° .If the tower is 60m high, find the height of the building.

उत्तर

Let AB be thee building and PQ be the tower.
We have,

PQ = 60m,∠APB = 30°, ∠PAQ = 60°
In  ΔAPQ,

` tan 60° = (PQ)/(AP)`

`⇒ sqrt(3) = 60/(AP)`

`⇒ AP = 60/sqrt(3)`

`⇒ AP = (60 sqrt(3))/3`

`⇒ AP = 20 sqrt(3) m`

Now , in Δ ABP ,

`  tan 30° = (AB)/(AP)`

`⇒1/ sqrt(3) = (AB)/(20 sqrt(3))`

`⇒ AB = (20 sqrt(3))/ sqrt(3)`

∴ AB = 20 m

So, the height of the building is 20 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. 
  2. Find the distance AB.
    OR
    Find the area of ∠OPB.
  3. Find the height of the Section A from the base of the tower.

One evening, Kaushik was in a park. Children were playing cricket. Birds were singing on a nearby tree of height 80m. He observed a bird on the tree at an angle of elevation of 45°.

When a sixer was hit, a ball flew through the tree frightening the bird to fly away. In 2 seconds, he observed the bird flying at the same height at an angle of elevation of 30° and the ball flying towards him at the same height at an angle of elevation of 60°.

  1. At what distance from the foot of the tree was he observing the bird sitting on the tree?
  2. How far did the bird fly in the mentioned time?
    (or)
    After hitting the tree, how far did the ball travel in the sky when Kaushik saw the ball?
  3. What is the speed of the bird in m/min if it had flown `20(sqrt3 + 1) m`?
