If a flag staff of
6 m height placed on the top of a tower throws a shadow of
2 ?3 m along the ground, then the angle that the sun makes with the ground is :
On the level ground, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is
30°. On moving
20 m nearer, the angle of elevation is
60°. The height of the tower is :
A man is watching from the top of a tower a boat speeding away from the tower. The boat makes an angle of depression of
45° with the man's eye when at a distance of
60 meter from the tower. After
5 second, the angle of depression becomes
30°. What is the approximate speed of the boat, assuming it is running in still water?
From the top of a tower of height
108 meter the angles of depression of two objects on either sides of the tower are
30° and
45°. The distance between the objects are :
The angles of elevation of the top of a tower from the points
P and
Q, at distances of
'a' and
'b' respectively from the base of the tower and in the same straight line with it are complementary. The height of the tower is :
