There are two parallel streets each directed north to south. A person in the first street travelling from south to north wishes to take the second street which is on his right side. At some place, he makes a 150 deg turn to the right and he travels for 15 minutes at the speed of 20 km/hr. After that he takes a left turn of 60 deg and travels for 20 minutes at the speed of 30 km/hr in order to meet the second street. What is the distance between the two streets?
The top of a broken tree touches the ground at a distance of 15 m from its base. If the tree is broken at a height of 8 m from the ground, then the actual height of the tree is

A tower is broken at a point P above the ground. The top of the tower makes an angle 60° with the ground at Q. From another point R on the opposite sideof Q angle of elevation of point P is 30°. If QR = 180 m, then what is the total height (in metres) of the tower?
On level ground, there stands a vertical tower with a flagpole fixed on its top. From a point on the ground 9 m away from the foot of the tower, the angles of elevation of the top and the bottom of the flagpole are 60° and 30° respectively. What is the height of the flagpole?
Two ships are sailing in the sea on opposite sides of a vertical lighthouse. From the decks of the two ships, the angles of elevation of the top of the lighthouse are observed to be 30° and 45° respectively. If the lighthouse is 100 m high (take √3 = 1.73 where needed), find the distance between the two ships.
A man stands on the bank of a river and observes that the angle of elevation of the top of a tree on the opposite bank is 60°. When he walks 36 m directly away from the river bank, the angle of elevation of the top of the same tree becomes 30°. What is the breadth (width) of the river?
A kite is flying in the sky. The length of the string between a point on the level ground and the kite is 420 m. The angle of elevation that the string makes with the ground is 30°. Assuming that the string is straight and taut with no slack, what is the height of the kite above the ground (in metres)?
Two vertical trees stand on opposite sides of a straight road, and the distance between the two trees is 400 metres. There is a point on the road between them from which the angles of depression to that point from the tops of the trees are 45° and 60° respectively. If the height of the tree that subtends the 45° angle is 200 metres, what is the height (in metres) of the other tree?
