Q6.A statue, 1.6 m tall, stands on the top of a pedestal. From a point on the ground, 4 Marks
the angle of elevation of the top of the statue is 60° and from the same point the
angle of elevation of the top of the pedestal is 45°. Find the height of the
pedestal.
Ans:

Let AB = 1.6 m. be the height of the statue BC = x m be the height of pedestal CD be the
distance between the foot of the pedestal to a point on the ground.
In △ ACD,
∘ AC
tan 60 =
CD

since AC = AB + BC = 1 .6 + x
1.6+x
√3 =
CD

.................(i)
1.6+x
CD =
√3

In △ BCD,
∘ BC
tan 45 =

⇒ CD = x

substitute CD = x in (i)
1.6+x
x =
√3

√3x = 1.6 + x

√3x − x = 1.6

x(√3 − 1) = 1.6
1.6
x =
√3−1

Rationalising the denominator,

1.6 √3+1
x = ×
√3−1 √3+1

1.6(√3+1)
=
2

0.8(√3 + 1) = 2.19m.

Hence the height of the pedestal = 2.19 m.

Q7.From the top of a 7 m high building, the angle of elevation of the top of a cable 4 Marks
tower is 60° and the angle of depression of its foot is 45°. Determine the height
of the tower.
Ans:

Let AB be the building or height 7 m, and CE be the height or the cable tower.
In △ ABE,
∘ AB
tan 45 =
BE
7
1 =
BE

BE = 7 m.
since ABED is a square AD = BE = 7 m
ln △ ACD,
∘ CD
tan 60 =
AD
CD
√3 =
7

⇒ CD = 7√3 m.

Thus the height or the cable tower = CD+ DE

= 7√3 + 7

= 7(√3 + 1)m.

Q8.The angle of elevation of the top of a tower 30m high from the foot of another 4 Marks
tower in the same plane is 60° and the angle of elevation of the top of the
second tower from the foot of the first tower is 30°. Find the distance between
the two towers and also the height of the other tower.
Ans:

Two vertical towers TW = 30m and ER = x m (let) are standing on a horizontal plane RW =
y(let). The angle of elevation from R to top of 30m high tower is 60º and the angle of
elevation of second tower from W is 30º.
In △ERW,
∘ x

⇒ y = √3x . . . (I)

Now, In △TWR,
∘
∘ 30
tan 60 = (I)
y

30
⇒ √3 = [From (I)]
√3x

⇒ 3x = 30

⇒ x = 10m

Now, y = √3x
⇒ y = √3(10)

⇒ y = 1.732 × 10

⇒ y = 17.32m

Hence, the distance between the two towers is 17.32m and the height of the second
tower is 10m.
Q9.From the top of a building AB, 60m high, the an es of depression of the top and 4 Marks
bottom of a vertical lamp-post CD are obseved to be 30° and 60° respetively.
Find:
1. The horizontal distance between AB and CD,
2. The height of the lamp post,
3. The difference between the heights of the building and the lamp-post.
Ans:

Given that AB is a bulding that is 60m, high.

Let BD = CE = x and CD = BE = y
⇒ AE = AB − BE = 60 − y

1. In right △ACE,
∘ AE
tan 30 =
CE

1 60−y
⇒ =
x
√3

⇒ x = 60√3 − y√3 … (i)

In right △ACE,
∘ AB
tan 60 =
BD
60
⇒ √3 =
x
60
⇒ x =
√3

On rationalising we get,
60 √3
x = ×
√3 √3

60√3
⇒ x =
3

⇒ x = 20√3

⇒ x = 20 × 1.732 = 34.64m

Thus, the horizontal distance between AB and CD is 34.64m.

2. From (i), we get the height of the lamp-post
= CD = y
x = 60√3 − y√3

⇒ 20√3 = 60√3 = y√3

⇒ 20 = 60 − y

⇒ y = 40m

Thus, the height of the lamp-post is 40m.

3. The difference between of the building and the lamp-post
= AB - CD

= 60 - 40
= 20m
Q10.From a point on the ground, the angles of elevation of the bottom and the top of 4 Marks
a transmission tower fixed at the top of a 20 m high building are 45° and 60°
respectively. Find the height of the tower.
Ans:

Let AB = x be the height of the transmission tower.

If BC = 20 is the height of the building.
In △ BCD,
∘ BC
tan 45 =
CD
20
1 =
CD

⇒ CD = 20 m.
In △ ACD,
∘ AC
tan 60 =
CD
AB+BC
√3 =
CD
x+20
√3 =
20

20√3 = x + 20

x = 20√3 − 20

∴ Height of the transmission tower = 20(√3 − 1)m.
