Applications Of Trigonometry Class 10 NCERT Solution - Important Points

Line of Sight - The Line of Sight is the line formed by our vision as it passes through an item when we look at it.

Horizontal Line - The distance between the observer and the object is measured by a horizontal line.

The angle of Elevation:

  • The angle formed by the line of sight to the top of the item and the horizontal line is called an angle of elevation.

  • It is above the horizontal line, i.e., when we gaze up at the item, we make an angle of elevation.

The angle of Depression:

  • When the spectator must look down to perceive the item, an angle of depression is formed.

  • When the horizontal line is above the angle, the angle of depression is formed between it and the line of sight.

NCERT Solutions for ch 9 maths class 10 Excercise: 9.1

Q1 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).

15942898750991594289872747

Answer:

Given that,
The length of the rope (AC) = 20 m. and \angle ACB =30^o
Let the height of the pole (AB) be h

So, in the right triangle \Delta ABC

sdgfhgjhjfdfg4

By using the Sin rule
\sin \theta = \frac{P}{H} =\frac{AB}{AC}
\sin 30^o =\frac{h}{20}
h =10 m.
Hence the height of the pole is 10 m.

Q2 A tree breaks due to 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.

Answer:

15942915206361594291518564
Suppose DB is a tree and the AD is the broken height of the tree which touches the ground at C.
GIven that,
\angle ACB = 30^o , BC = 8 m
let AB = x m and AD = y m
So, AD+AB = DB = x+y

In right angle triangle \Delta ABC ,
\tan \theta = \frac{P}{B}=\frac{x}{8}
\tan 30^o =\frac{x}{8}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}
So, the value of x = 8/\sqrt{3}

Similarily,
\cos 30^o = \frac{BC}{AC} = \frac{8}{y}
the value of y is 16/\sqrt{3}

So, the total height of the tree is-

x+y=\frac{24}{\sqrt{3}}=8\sqrt{3}

= 8 (1.732) = 13.856 m (approx)

Q3 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 1.5 m, and is inclined at an angle of 30° to the ground, whereas for elder children, she wants to have a steep slide 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?

Answer:

15942902515691594290248488
Suppose x m is the length of slides for children below 5 years and the length of slides for elders children be y m.

Given that,
AF = 1.5 m, BC = 3 m, \angle AEF = 30^o and \angle BDC = 60^o

In triangle \Delta EAF,
\sin \theta = \frac{AF}{EF} = \frac{1.5}{x}
\sin 30^o = \frac{1.5}{x}
The value of x is 3 m.

Similarily in \Delta CDB,
\sin 60^o = \frac{3}{y}
\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}= \frac{3}{y}
the value of y is 2\sqrt{3} = 2(1.732) = 3.468

Hence the length of the slide for children below 5 yrs. is 3 m and for the elder children is 3.468 m.

Q4 The angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a point on the ground, which is 30 m away from the foot of the tower, is 30°. Find the height of the tower.

Answer:

15942902793611594290278112
Let the height of the tower AB is h and the angle of elevation from the ground at point C is \angle ACB = 30^o
According to question,
In the right triangle \Delta ABC ,
\tan \theta = \frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{h}{30}
\tan 30^o =\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{h}{30}
the value of h is 10\sqrt{3} = 10(1.732) = 17.32 m
Thus the height of the tower is 17.32 m

Q5 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.

Answer:

A
15942903087441594290307251
Given that,
The length of AB = 60 m and the inclination of the string with the ground at point C is \angle ACB = 60^o .
Let the length of the string AC be l .
According to question,
In right triangle \Delta CBA,
\sin 60^{o} = \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{60}{l}
\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{60}{l}
The value of length of the string ( l ) is 40\sqrt{3} = 40(1.732) = 69.28 m
Hence the length of the string is 69.28 m.

Q6 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.

Answer:

15942903319101594290329650
Given that,
The height of the tallboy (DC) is 1.5 m and the height of the building (AB) is 30 m.
\angle ADF = 30^o and \angle AEF = 60^o

According to question,
In right triangle AFD,
\\\Rightarrow \tan 30^o=\frac{AF}{DF} = \frac{28.5}{DF}\\\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{28.5}{DF}
So, DF = (28.5)\sqrt{3}

In right angle triangle \Delta AFE ,
\tan 60^o =\frac{AF}{FE}=\frac{28.5}{EF}
\sqrt{3}=\frac{28.5}{EF}
EF = 9.5\sqrt{3}

So, distance walked by the boy towards the building = DF - EF = 19\sqrt{3}

Q7 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 = h is the height of 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 = h m and AD = x m
\angle CDA = 60^o and \angle BDA = 45^o

According to question,
In triangle \Delta BDA,
\tan 45^o = \frac{AB}{AD}=\frac{20}{x}
So, x = 20 m

Again,
In triangle \Delta 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

Q8 A statue, 1.6 m tall, stands on the top of a pedestal. From a point on the ground, the angle of elevation of the top of the 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.

Answer:

15942903734641594290372019
Let the height of the pedestal be h m. and the height of the statue is 1.6 m.
the angle of elevation of the top of the statue and top of the pedestal is( \angle DCB= 60^o )and( \angle ACB= 45^o ) respectively.

Now,
In triangle \Delta ABC ,
\tan 45^o =1 =\frac{AB}{BC}=\frac{h}{BC}
therefore, BC = h m

In triangle \Delta CBD ,
\\\Rightarrow \tan 60^o = \frac{BD}{BC}=\frac{h+1.6}{h}\\\\\Rightarrow \sqrt{3}= 1+\frac{1.6}{h}
the value of h is 0.8(\sqrt{3}+1) m
Hence the height of the pedestal is 0.8(\sqrt{3}+1) m

Q9 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.

Answer:

15942904215031594290420227
It is given that, the height of the tower (AB) is 50 m. \angle AQB = 30^o and \angle PBQ = 60^o
Let the height of the building be h m

According to question,
In triangle PBQ,
\tan 60^o = \frac{PQ}{BQ} = \frac{50}{BQ}
\\\sqrt{3} = \frac{50}{BQ}\\ BQ = \frac{50}{\sqrt{3}} .......................(i)

In triangle ABQ,

\tan 30^o = \frac{h}{BQ}
{BQ}=h\sqrt{3} .........................(ii)
On equating the eq(i) and (ii) we get,

\frac{50}{\sqrt{3}}=h\sqrt{3}
therefore, h = 50/3 = 16.66 m = height of the building.

Q10 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 30°, respectively. Find the height of the poles and the distances of the point from the poles.

Answer:

15942904402531594290438964
Given that,
The height of both poles are equal DC = AB. The angle of elevation of of the top of the poles are \angle DEC=30^o and \angle AEB=60^o resp.
Let the height of the poles be h m and CE = x and BE = 80 - x

According to question,
In triangle DEC,

\\\Rightarrow \tan 30^o = \frac{DC}{CE} = \frac{h}{x}\\\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}= \frac{h}{x}\\\\\Rightarrow x=h\sqrt{3} ..............(i)

In triangle AEB,
\\\Rightarrow \tan 60^o = \frac{AB}{BE}=\frac{h}{80-x}\\\\\Rightarrow \sqrt{3}=\frac{h}{80-x}\\\\\Rightarrow x=80 - \frac{h}{\sqrt{3}} ..................(ii)
On equating eq (i) and eq (ii), we get

\sqrt{3}h=80 - \frac{h}{\sqrt{3}}

\frac{h}{\sqrt{3}}=20 So, x = 60 m

Hence the height of both poles is ( h=20\sqrt{3} )m and the position of the point is at 60 m from the pole CD and 20 m from the pole AB.

Q11 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.

15942904616351594290459973

Answer:

15942904764911594290475054
Suppose the h is the height of the tower AB and BC = x m
It is given that, the width of CD is 20 m,
According to question,

In triangle \Delta ADB ,
\\\Rightarrow \tan 30^o = \frac{AB}{20+x}=\frac{h}{20+x}\\\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{h}{20+x}\\\\\Rightarrow 20+x = h\sqrt{3}\\\\\Rightarrow x = h\sqrt{3}-20 ............(i)

In triangle ACB,
\\\Rightarrow \tan 60^o = \frac{h}{x}=\sqrt{3}\\\\\Rightarrow x= \frac{h}{\sqrt{3}} .............(ii)

On equating eq (i) and (ii) we get:

h\sqrt{3}-20= \frac{h}{\sqrt{3}}
from here we can calculate the value of h=10\sqrt{3}= 10 (1.732) = 17.32\: m and the width of the canal is 10 m.

Q12 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.

Answer:

15942904947031594290493105
Let the height of the cable tower be (AB = h+7 )m
Given,
The height of the building is 7 m and angle of elevation of the top of the tower \angle ACE = 60^o , angle of depression of its foot \angle BCE = 45^o .

According to question,

In triangle \Delta DBC ,
\\\tan 45^o = \frac{CD}{BD} = \frac{7}{BD} = 1\\ BD =7\ m
since DB = CE = 7 m

In triangle \Delta ACE ,

\\\tan 60^o = \frac{h}{CE}=\frac{h}{7}=\sqrt{3}\\ \therefore h = 7\sqrt{3}\ m

Thus, the total height of the tower equal to h+7 =7(1+\sqrt{3}\) m

Q13 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.

Answer:

Given that,
The height of the lighthouse (AB) is 75 m from the sea level. And the angle of depression of two different ships are \angle ADB = 30^0 and \angle ACB = 45^0 respectively
15942905447991594290543400
Let the distance between both the ships be x m.
According to question,

In triangle \Delta ADB ,

\tan 30^0 = \frac{AB}{BD}=\frac{75}{x+y} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}
\therefore x+y = 75 \sqrt{3} .............(i)

In triangle \Delta ACB ,

\tan 45^0 = 1 =\frac{75}{BC}=\frac{75}{y}
\therefore y =75\ m .............(ii)

From equation (i) and (ii) we get;
x = 75(\sqrt{3}-1)=75(0.732)
x = 54.9\simeq 55\ m

Hence, the distance between the two ships is approx 55 m.

Q14 A 1.2 m tall girl spots a balloon moving with the wind in a horizontal line at a height of 88.2 m from the ground. The angle of elevation of the balloon from the eyes of the girl at any instant is 60°. After some time, the angle of elevation reduces to 30° (see Fig. 9.13). Find the distance traveled by the balloon during the interval.

15942906011101594290599656

Answer:

Given that,
The height of the girl is 1.2 m. The height of the balloon from the ground is 88.2 m and the angle of elevation of the balloon from the eye of the girl at any instant is ( \angle ACB =60^0 ) and after some time \angle DCE =30^0 .
15942906424181594290640376
Let the x distance travelled by the balloon from position A to position D during the interval.
AB = ED = 88.2 - 1.2 =87 m

Now, In triangle \Delta BCA ,

\\\tan 60^0 = \sqrt{3}=\frac{AB}{BC}=\frac{87}{BC}\\ \therefore BC = 29\sqrt{3}

In triangle \Delta DCE ,

\\\tan 30^0 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{DE}{CE}=\frac{87}{CE}\\ \therefore CE = 87\sqrt{3}

Thus, distance traveled by the balloon from position A to D

= CE - BC =87\sqrt{3}-29\sqrt{3} = 58\sqrt{3} m

Q15 A straight highway leads to the foot of a tower. A man standing at the top of the tower observes a car at an angle of depression of 30°, which is approaching the foot of the tower with a uniform speed. Six seconds later, the angle of depression of the car is found to be 60°. Find the time taken by the car to reach the foot of the tower from this point.

Answer:

15942906686221594290666652
Let h be the height of the tower (DC) and the speed of the car be x\ ms^{-1} . Therefore, the distance (AB)covered by the car in 6 seconds is 6 x m. Let t time required to reach the foot of the tower. So, BC = x t

According to question,
In triangle \Delta DAC ,
\\\tan 30^0 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{h}{6x+xt}\\ x(6+t) = h\sqrt{3} ..........................(i)

In triangle \Delta BCD ,

\\\tan 60^0 = \sqrt{3} = \frac{h}{xt}\\ \therefore h = 3.xt ...................(ii)

Put the value of h in equation (i) we get,
\\x(6+t) = (\sqrt{3}.\sqrt{3})xt\\ 6x +xt = 3xt\\ 6x = 2xt
t = 3

Hence, from point B car take 3 sec to reach the foot of the tower.

Q16 The angles of elevation of the top of a tower from two points at a distance of 4 m and 9 m from the base of the tower and in the same straight line with it are complementary. Prove that the height of the tower is 6 m.

Answer:

15942906874451594290685895
Let the height of the tower be h m.
we have PB = 4m and QB = 9 m
Suppose \angle BQA = \theta , so \angle APB =90- \theta

According to question,

In triangle \Delta ABQ ,

\\\tan \theta = \frac{h}{9}\\ \therefore h = 9 \tan \theta ..............(i)

In triangle \Delta ABP ,

\\\tan (90-\theta)=\cot \theta = \frac{h}{4}\\ \therefore h = 4\cot \theta .....................(ii)

multiply the equation (i) and (ii), we get

\\h^2 = 36\\ \Rightarrow h = 6 m

Hence the height of the tower is 6 m.
