प्रश्न
Two building are in front of each other on either side of a road of width 10 metres. From the top of the first building which is 40 metres high, the angle of elevation to the top of the second is 45°. What is the height of the second building?
उत्तर
Let AB and CD represent two buildings. AB = 40 m, BC is the width of the road.
BC = 10 m
m∠MAD = 45° ---- (angle of elevation)
ABCM is a rectangle.
AM = BC = 10 m ---(1)
AB = MC = 40 m ---(2)
Let MD = x,
Then in right angled ΔAMC,
tan ∠MAD = tan45° = MD/MA
∴ 1 = x/10
∴ x = 10
Now,
CD = CM + MD = 34 + 10 = 50 m.
Thus the height of the second building is 50 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°.

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.
