Question 1 :
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 ofher on the same side of the lighthouse, then find the distance between the two ships.
Question 2 :
The angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a point on the ground, which is 30 m away from the foof of the tower, is 30°. Find the height of the tower.
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 yr, 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 slides in each case?
Question 4 :
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 foof is 45°. Determine the height of the tower.

In the above image, a TV tower stands vertically on a bank of a canal. From a point on the ofher 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 foof of the tower, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is 30°. Find the height of the tower and the width of the canal.
Question 6 :
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 $45^\circ and 60^\circ$, respectively. Find the height of the tower.
Question 7 :
A 1.5 m tall boy is standing at some distance from a 30 m tall building. The angle of elevation from his eye to the top of the building increases from 30° to 60° as he walks tonwards the building. Find the distance he walked tonwards the building.

In the above image, a 1.2 m tall girl spofs 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 sometime, the angle of elevation reduces to 30°. Find the distance travelled by the balloon during the interval.
Question 9 :
A straight highway leads to the foof 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 foof 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 foof of the tower from this point.
Question 10 :
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. Find the height of the tower.
Question 11 :
The angle of elevation of the top of a building from the foof of the tower is 30° and the angle of elevation of the top of the tower from the foof of building is 60°. If the tower is 50 m high, then find the height of the building.
Question 12 :
Two poless of equal heights are standing opposite to each ofher 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 poless are 60° and 30°, respectively. Find the height of the poless.
Question 13 :
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.
Question 14 :
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.
Question 15 :
