Case Study Based Questions
13. Case Study 1
Trigonometry—Height of Tree/Tower: Mr. Suresh is an electrician. He receives a call regarding
a fault on a pole from three different colonies A, B and C. He reaches one-by-one to each
colony to repair that fault. He needs to reach a point 1.3 m below the top of each pole to
undertake the repair work. Observe the following diagrams.

Refer to Diagram A
a. What should be the length of ladder DQ that enable him to reach the required position if
the height of the pole is 4 m? [2 Marks]

Refer to Diagram B
b. Given that the length of ladder is 4 2 m . What is the height of the pole?

[2 Marks]
14. Case Study 2
Adventure camps are the perfect place for the children to practice decision making for
themselves without parents and teachers guiding them every move. Some students of a
school reached for adventure at Sakleshpur. At the camp, the waiters served some
students with a welcome drink in a cylindrical glass while some students in a
hemispherical cup whose dimensions are shown below. After that they went for a jungle
trek. The jungle trek was enjoyable but tiring. As dusk fell, it was time to take shelter.
Each group of four students was given a canvas of area 551 m2. Each group had to make a
conical tent to accommodate all the four students. Assuming that all the stitching and
wasting incurred while cutting, would amount to 1 m2, the students put up the tents.
The radius of the tent is 7 m.
a. The volume of cylindrical cup is [2 Marks]
b. The height of the conical tent prepared to accommodate four students is [2 Marks]
