Some Applications of Trigonometry Class 10th Notes - Free NCERT Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Notes - Download PDF

The NCERT Class 10 Maths chapter 9 notes covers an outline of the chapter some application of trigonometry. Trigonometry is used in many ways in the things around us, we can use it for calculating the height and distance of some objects without actually measuring them.

Line of Sight

When looking at some object then the line made by our vision to the object is the Line of Sight.

Line of Sight

Horizontal Line

It is a distance between the observer and the object.

Angle of Elevation

It is the angle made by the line of sight to the top of the object and the horizontal line. It lies above the horizontal line that is the angle of elevation made when looking up to the object.

Angle of Depression

It is made when the observer needs to look down to see the object. The angle between the horizontal line and the line of sight is the angle of depression.

Angle of Depression

Consider the figure below:

1644385644942

Example 1:

What is the value of sinθ/cosθ?

sinθ/cosθ=(Opposite/Hypotenuse)/(Adjacent/Hypotenuse)=tanθ

Example 2:

What is the value of cos 60-sin 30?

From the above table:

cos 60=1/2

sin 30=1/2

Then cos 60-sin 30=1/2-1/2=0

Example 3: 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.

Answer:

15942903511781594290349905
Suppose BC = his the height of the transmission tower and the AB be the height of the building and AD is the distance between the building and the observer point (D).We have,AB = 20 m, BC = hm and AD = xm

\angle CDA = 60^o

\angle BDA = 45^o

According to the question,
In triangle BDA,

\tan 45^o = \frac{AB}{AD}=\frac{20}{x}

x = 20 m

Again,
In triangle CAD,

\\\Rightarrow \tan 60^o = \frac{AB+BC}{AD}=\frac{20+h}{20}\\\\\Rightarrow \sqrt{3}= 1+\frac{h}{20}\\\\\Rightarrow h=20(\sqrt{3}-1)\\\\\Rightarrow 20(0.732) = 14.64 m

Answer- the height of the tower is 14.64 m
