Height and Distance Questions

A ladder 13 m long reaches a window which is 12 m above the ground on side of a street. Keeping its foot at the same point, the ladder is turned to the other side of the street to each a window 5m high, then the width of the street is :

129 meter from the foot of a cliff on level of ground, the angle of elevation of the top of a cliff is 30°. The height of this cliff is

Two men are on opposite sides of a tower. They measure the angles of elevation of the top of the tower as 30 ̊ and 45 ̊ respectively. If the height of the tower is 50 m, the distance between the two men is (Take √3 = 1.73)

A kite is flying in the sky. The length of string between a point on the ground and kite is 420 m. The angle of elevation of string with the ground is 30 deg. Assuming that there is no slack in the string, then what is the height (in metres) of the kite?

The angle of elevation of a ladder leaning against a wall is 60 deg and the foot of the ladder is 4.6 m away from the wall. The length of the ladder is

The upper part of a tree broken over by the wind make an angle of 60 deg with the ground. The distance between the root and the point where top of the tree touches the ground is 25 metres. What was the height (in metres) of the tree?

The angles of elevation of top and bottom of a flag kept on a flag post from 30 metres distance, are 45 and 30 deg respectively. Height of the flag is [taking √3 = 1.732]

A balloon leaves from a point P rises at a uniform speed. After 6 minutes, an observer situated at a distance of 450√3 metres from point P observes that angle of elevation of the balloon is 60 deg. Assume that point of observation and point P are on the same level. What is the speed (in m/s) of the balloon?
