The angle of elevation of a cloud from a point 60 m above the surface of the water of a lakeis 30° and the angle of depression of its shadow from the same point in water of lake is 60Find the height of the cloud from the surface of water. |

Answer» Let AO=HCD=OB=60mA'B=AB=(60+H)m In triangke AOD,tan30'=AO/OD=H/OD H=OD/√3OD=√3 H Now, in triangle A'OD,tan60'=OA'/OD=(OB+BA')/OD√3=(60+60+H)/√3 H =(120+H)/√3 H=>120+H=3H 2H=120 H=60m Thus, height of the cloud above the lake = AB+A'B =(60+60) = 120m which of the chapters given below ABC order should fill the empty sector in circle |
