Height and Distance Questions

Two ships are sailing in the sea on the two sides of a light house. The angle of elevation of the top of the light house as observed from the two ships are 30° and 45° respectively. If the light house is 100m high, the distance between the two ships is :(take √3=1.73)

A telegraph post is bent at a point above the ground. Its top just touches the ground at a distance of 8√3 m from its foot and makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. The height (in metre) of the post is

The angle of elevation of an aeroplane as observed from a point 30 m above the transparent water-surface of a lake is 30° and the angle of depression of the image of the aeroplane in the water of the lake is 60°. The height of the aeroplane from the water-surface of the lake is

Two poles of the height 15 m and 20 m stand vertically upright on a plane ground. If the distance between their feet is 12 m, find the distance between their tops.

A pilot in an aeroplane at an altitude of 200 m observes two points lying on either side of a river. If the angles of depression of the two points be 45° and 60°, then the width of the river is

The length of shadow of a tower is √3 times that of its length. The angle of elevation of the sun is

From the top of a platform, the angle of elevation of a tower was 30 deg. The tower was 45 mts high and the horizontal distance between the platform and the tower was 40√3 m. What was the height of the platform?

The angle of elevation of an aeroplane from a point on the ground is 60 deg. After flying for 30 seconds, the angle of elevation changes to 30 deg. If the aeroplane is flying at a height of 4500 m, then what is the speed (in m/s) of aeroplane?
