with the road. Prove that .
245. From a point directly opposite the middle of one side of a square tower and distant d
from it, the elevation of the top of the tower is observed to be a, and the elevation of the
top of a flagstaff erected at the middle of the top of the tower is observed to be b. From
another point on the same level, at a distance a from the first directly towards the tower,
the top of the flagstaff can be seen and no more. Find the height of the flagstaff.
246. A man standing on a plane observes a row of equal and equidistant pillars, the 9 th and
16th pillars subtend same angle that they would do if they were in the position of the first
and were respectively of their height. Prove that neglecting height of the man’s
eye the line of pillars is inclined to the line drawn from his eye to the fifth at an angle 
where  = sin-1 .
247. Three poles on a horizontal plane and of equal height subtend equal angles at the top of
a tower. The anlges of depression of the bases of these poles as seen from the top of
the tower are a1, a2, a3. Prove that
coseca1sin(a2 - a3) + coseca2sin(a3 - a1) + coseca3sin(a1 - a2) = 0.
248. A vertical tower ABCD (points A, B, C, D all lying in one line on different vertical levels)
stand on a level ground, with ‘A’ being the foot of the tower. At a point ‘P’ on the ground
the portions AB, AC, AD subtend angles , ,  respectively. If AB = a, AC = b, AD = c,
AP = x and  +  +  = , show that (a + b + c)x2 = abc.
249. On the top of a hemispherical dome of radius ‘r’ there stands a flag of height ‘h’. From a
point on the ground the elevation of the top of the flag is ‘1’. After moving a distance ‘d’
towards the dome, when the flag is just visible, the elevation is ‘2’. Find ‘r’ and ‘h’ in
terms of ‘1’, ‘2’ and ‘d’.
250. A hill, standing on horizontal plane, has a circular base and forms a part of a sphere. At
two points on the plane at distance ‘a’ and ‘b’ from base, the angular elevations of
highest visible points on the hill are  and  ( > ) respectively. Prove that height of the
hill is 2 .
