Sample questions
-
1.The adjoining figure shows a tower AB of height h. Points C and D are on the ground on the same side of the tower. The angles of elevation from C and D to the top of the tower are 45° and 30° respectively, and CD = 10 m. Find the height of the tower.
-
2.From the figure, given below, calculate the length of CD.

-
3.The angle of elevation of the top of a hill at the foot of a tower is 60° and the angle of elevation of the top of the tower from the foot of the hill is 30°. If the tower is 50 m high, what is the height of the hill?

- A.50 m
- B.100 m
- C.150 m
- D.200 m
-
4.Two people are standing on the ground on the same side of a tower. They measure the angles of elevation of the top of the tower at 25° and 50°, respectively. If the height of the tower is 70 m, then find the distance between the two people.
-
5.From a window A, 10 m above the ground angle of elevation of the top C of a tower is $x^{\circ}$, where $\tan x^{\circ} = \frac{5}{2}$ and the angle of depression of the foot D of the tower is $y^{\circ}$, where $\tan y^{\circ} = \frac{1}{4}$. Calculate the height CD of the tower in metres.
