RBSE Class 10 Maths Solutions Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Exercise 9.1

Question 1.
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 Figure)
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 1
Solution:
Let AB the height of the pole. AC = 20 m is the length of the rope.
In this situation, the angle of elevation is 30°. Now in right △ABC.
\(\frac{\mathrm{Perpendicular}}{\mathrm{Hypotenuse}}\) = \(\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\mathrm{AC}}\) = sin 30°
[sin θ = \(\frac{\mathrm{Perpendicular}}{\mathrm{Hypotenuse}}\)
or \(\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\mathrm{20}}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
or AB = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 20 = 10
Hence the height of the pole = 10 m

Question 2.
A tree breaks due to storm and the broken part bends so that the top of the tree touches the ground making an angle RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 2
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.
Solution:
Let the length of the tree before storm be BD. After storm AD = AC = length of the broken part of the tree.
Now in right △ABC,

Multiplying the numerator and the denominator by \(\sqrt {3}\)
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 4
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 5
Therefore height of the tree = 8\(\sqrt {3}\) m
or height of the tree = 8 × 1.732
= 13.856
≃ 13.86 m

Question 3.
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 3 m, and inclined at an angle of 60° to the ground. What should be the length of the slide in each case?
Solution:
Case First—For the children below the age of 5 years—
Let AC = l1m be the length of the slide and BC = 1.5 m be the height of the slide. In this case angle of elevation is 30°.
In right of △ABC,
\(\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{AC}}\) = sin 30°
[∵ sin θ = \(\frac{perpendicular}{hypotenuse}\)]
or \(\frac{1.5}{l_{1}}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
or l1 = 1.5 × 2 = 3 m
Case Second—For elder children—
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 6
Let AC = l2 m be the length of the slide and BC = 3 m be the height of the slide. In this case the angle of elevation is 60°.
In right △ABC,
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 7
multiplying the numerator and the denominator by \(\sqrt {3}\)
= \(\frac{6}{\sqrt{3}}\) × \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}\) = \(\frac{6 \sqrt{3}}{3}\) = 2\(\sqrt {3}\) m
Hence the length of the slide for the children below the age of 5 years = 3 m and for elder children the length of the slide = 2\(\sqrt {3}\) m.

Question 4.
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.
Solution:
Let QR = h m be the height of the tower and PQ = 30 m is the distance on the ground level.
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 8
In right △PQR,
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 9
= 10\(\sqrt {3}\) m = 10 × 1.732
h = 17.32 m (approximately)
Hence the height of the tower = 17.32 m

RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1

Question 5.
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.
Solution:
Let the position of the kite be at point R. PR = l m is the length of the string attached to the kite. In this case the angle of elevation is 60°.
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 10
or \(\frac{60}{l}\) = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) or \(\sqrt{3} l\) = 60 × 2
or l = \(\frac{60 \times 2}{\sqrt{3}}\) = \(\frac{120}{\sqrt{3}}\) \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}\)
multiplying the numerator and the denominator by \(\sqrt {3}\)
= \(\frac{120 \sqrt{3}}{3}\) = 40\(\sqrt {3}\)m
Hence, the length of the string = 40\(\sqrt {3}\) m
OR
Hence, the length of the string = 40 × 1.732
= 69.28 m

Question 6.
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.
Solution:
Let ED = 30 m be the height of the building and EC = 1.5 m be the height of the boy. In different cases the angles of elevation are respectively 30° and 60° and here DC = DE – EC = 30
– 1.5 = 28.5 m.
In right △ACD,
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 11
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 12
distance walked towards the building AB = AC – BC ,
= (x + y) – y
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 13
Hence, the distance walked towards the building = 19\(\sqrt {3}\)m

Solution:
Let BC = 20 m be the height of the building and DC = A m be the height of the transmission tower. The angles of elevation of the bottom and the top of a transmission tower fixed at the top of the building are 45° and 60° respectively.
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 14
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 15
or 20\(\sqrt {3}\) = 20 + h
or h = 20\(\sqrt {3}\) – 20
or h = 20(\(\sqrt {3}\) – 1) m
or = 20 (1.732 – 1) m
or = 20 × 0.732 = 14.64 m
Hence, height of the tower = 14.64 m
Hence the height of the transmission tower = 20(\(\sqrt {3}\) – 1) m = 14.64 m

Question 8.
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.
Solution:
Let BC = h m be the height of the pedestal and CD = 1.6 m be the height of the statue. The angles of elevation of the top of the statue and the top of the pdedstal are 60° and 45° respectively.
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 16

Fron (i) and (ii),
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 18
= 0.8 × (\(\sqrt {3}\) + 1) m
Hence, height of the pedestal =0.8 × (\(\sqrt {3}\)+ 1) m
or height of the pedestal = 0.8 (1.732 + 1)
= 0.8 × 1.732 ≈ 2.20 m

RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1

Solution:
Let BC = 50 m be the height of the tower and AD = h m be the height of the building. The angle of elevation of the top of the building from the foot-point of the tower and the angle of elevation of the top of the tower from the foot-point of the building are 30° and 60° respectively.
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 19
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 20
Hence, height of the building 16\(\frac{2}{3}\) = m

Question 10.
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.
Solution:
Let BC = DE = h m be the heights of two equal poles and the point A be the required point from where the angles of elevation of two poles are 30° and 60°.
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 21
and in right △ABC,
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 22
or x = (80 – x) \(\sqrt {3}\) × \(\sqrt {3}\)
or x = (80 – x) 3
or x = 240 – 3x
or 4x = 240
or x = \(\frac{240}{4}\) = 60 m
substituting the value of x in (i)
h = \(\frac{60}{\sqrt{3}}\) = \(\frac{60}{\sqrt{3}}\) × \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}\)
(multiplying the numerator and the denominator by \(\sqrt {3}\))
= \(\frac{60 \sqrt{3}}{3}\) = 20\(\sqrt {3}\) m
Hence the height of the poles = (20 × 1.732) m = 34.64 m
∴ DA = x – 60 m
and AB = 80 – x = (80 – 60) m = 20 m
Hence, the height of pole is 34.64 m and the distances of the point from the poles are 20 m and 60 m respectively.

Find the height of the tower and the width of the canal.
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 23
Solution:
Let BC = x m be the width of the canal and CD = h m be the height of the TV tower. In different cases the angles of elevation of the top of the tower are 30° and 60° respectively.
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 24
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 25
or \(\sqrt {3}\)(\(\sqrt {3}\)x) = 20 + x
or 3x = 20 + x
or 2x= 20
or x = \(\frac{20}{2}\) = 10
Substituting the value of x in (i)
h = 10 (\(\sqrt {3}\))
= 10 × 1.732 h
= 17.32 m
Hence the height of the TV tower is 17.32 m and the width of the canal is 10 m.

RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 26
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 27
But AB = EC (Given)
7 = \(\frac{h-7}{\sqrt{3}}\) [Using (i) and (ii)]
or 7\(\sqrt {3}\) = h – 7
or h = 7\(\sqrt {3}\) + 7 = 7(\(\sqrt {3}\) + 1) m
Hence, height of the cable tower = 7(\(\sqrt {3}\) + 1) m
or h = 7(1.732 + 1) = 7(2.732)
or h= 19.124
or h = 19.124 m
Hence, height of the cable tower = 19.124 m

Question 13.
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.
Solution:
Let CD = 75 m be the height of the light house and the angles of depression of two ships from the top point D of the light house are respectively 30° and 45°.
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 28
or \(\frac{x+y}{75}\) = \(\sqrt {3}\)
or x + y = 75\(\sqrt {3}\)
or x + 75 = 75\(\sqrt {3}\) [using (i)]
or x = 75\(\sqrt {3}\) – 75
or x = 75(\(\sqrt {3}\) – 1) m
or = 75(1.732 – 1)
or = 75(0.732)
or x = 54.90 m
Hence the distance between two ships = 75(\(\sqrt {3}\) – 1) m or 54.90 m

Question 15.
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.
Solution:
Let CD = h m be the height of the tower and ‘A’ be the original position of the car and after 6 seconds the car reaches B. The angles of depression of the car at A and B are respectively 30° and 60°.
Again let the speed of the car be v metre per second.
∵ Distance = speed × time
AB = distance covered by car in 6 seconds.
AB = 6v m
and the time taken by car in reaching upto tower
= n seconds
∴ BC = nv m
In right △ACD,
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Some Applications of Trigonometry Ex 9.1 33
Or 6v + nv = nv (\(\sqrt {3}\) × \(\sqrt {3}\))
Or 6v + nv = 3nv Or 6v = 2nv
Or n = \(\frac{6 v}{2 v}\) = 3
Hence the time taken by the car to reach the foot of the tower = 3 records.
