Students of a school thought of planting trees in and around the school to reduce air pollution. It was decided
that the number of trees, that each section of each class will plant, will be the same as the class, in which they are
studying, e.g., a section of class I will plant 1 tree, a section of class II will plant 2 trees and so on till class XII.
There are three sections of each class.
(i) Find the distances of the point from the base of the towers where Neeta was standing while measuring the
height.
(ii) Neeta used some applications of trigonometry she learned in her class to find the height of the towers
without actually measuring them. What would be the height of the towers she would have calculated?
OR
