Some Application of Trigonometry

Chapter: 9

Exercise 9.1

1. A circus artist is climbing a 20 m long rope, which is tightly stretched and tied from the top of a vertical pole to the ground. Find the height of the pole, if the angle made by the rope with the ground level is 30°. (see Fig.9.11

Ans: It can be observed from the figure that AB is the pole.

In ∆ABC, 

Therefore, the height of the pole is 10 m.

2. A tree breaks due to a storm and the broken part bends so that the top of the tree touches the ground making an angle 30° with it. The distance between the foot of the tree to the point where the top touches the ground is 8 m. Find the height of the tree.

3. A contractor plans to install two slides for the children to play in a park. For the children below the age of 5 years, she prefers to have a slide whose top is at a height of 1.5m., and is inclined at an angle of 30° to the ground, whereas for elder children, she wants to have a step side at a height of 3m. and inclined at an angle of 60° to the ground. What should be the length of the slide in each case?

4. The angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a point on the ground, which is 30m away from the foot of the tower is 30°. Find the height of the tower.

5. A kite is flying at a height of 60 m above the ground. The string attached to the kite is temporarily tied to a point on the ground. The inclination of the string with the ground is 60. Find the length of the string, assuming that there is no slack in the string.

6. A 1.5 m tall boy is standing at some distance from a 30 m tall building. The angle of elevation from his eyes to the top of the building increases from 30° to 60° as he walks towards the building. Find the distance he walked towards the building.

Ans: 

Let the boy was standing at point S initially. He walked towards the building and reached at point T. It can be observed that

PR = PQ − RQ

= (30 − 1.5) m = 28.5 m 

In ∆PAR,  57/2 m

ST = AB

7. From a point on the ground, the angles of elevation of the bottom and the top of 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 BC be the building, AB be the transmission tower, and D be the point on the ground from where the elevation angles are to be measured.

In ∆BCD, 

Therefore, the height of the transmission tower is 20(√3 − 1) m.

8. A statue, 1.6 m tall, stands on a top of pedestal, from a point on the ground, the angle of elevation of the top of 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 be the statue, BC be the pedestal, and D be the point on the ground from where the elevation angles are to be measured.

In ∆BCD,

Therefore, the height of the pedestal is 0.8(√3 + 1) m.

9. The angle of elevation of the top of a building from the foot of the tower is 30° and the angle of elevation of the top of the tower from the foot of the building is 60°. If the tower is 50 m high, find the height of the building.

Ans:

Let AB be the building and CD be the tower. In ∆CDB,

Therefore, the height of the building is 16 2/3m.

10. Two poles of equal heights are standing opposite each other on either side of the road, which is 80 m wide. From a point between them on the road, the angles of elevation of the top of the poles are 60° and 30º,  respectively. Find the height of poles and the distance of the point from the poles.  

Ans: 

Let AB and CD be the poles and O is the point from where the elevation angles are

Measured.

In ∆ABO,

CD = AB

DO = BD − BO = (80 − 20) m = 60 m

Therefore, the height of poles is 20√3 m and the point is 20 m and 60 m far from these Poles.

11. A TV tower stands vertically on a bank of a canal. From a point on the other bank directly opposite the tower the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is 60°. From another point 20 m away from this point on the line joining this point to the foot of the tower, The angle of elevation of the top of the tower is 30°. (See Fig. 9.12) Find the height of the tower and the width of the canal.

Ans:

In ∆ABC,

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

Ans:

Let AB be a building and CD be a cable tower.

In ∆ABD,

Therefore, the height of the cable tower is 7(√3 + 1) m.

13. As observed from the top of a 75 m high lighthouse from the sea-level, the angles of depression of two ships are 30° and 45°. If one ship is exactly behind the other on the same side of the lighthouse, find the distance between the two ships.

Ans: 

Let AB be the lighthouse and the two ships be at point C and D respectively. 

In ∆ABC, 

Therefore, the distance between the two ships is 75(√3 − 1) m.
