3.
As shown in the figure, Two trees are standing on the flat ground. the angel of elevation of the top of both the trees from a point x on the ground is 40° .if the horizontal distance between x and the smaller tree is 8m and the distance of the top of the trees is 20m, calculate, the distance between the point x and the top of the smaller tree.
4.

7.
Two persons are standing ‘x’ metres apart from each other and the height of the first person is double that of the other. If from the middle point of the line joining their feet an observer finds the angular elevations of their tops to be complementary, then the height of the shorter person (in metres) is
\(\sqrt { 2 } \) x
\(\frac { x }{ 2\sqrt { 2 } } \)
\(\frac { x }{ \sqrt { 2 } } \)
2x
8.
A tower is 60 m height. Its shadow is x metres shorter when the sun’s altitude is 45° than when it has been 30°, then x is equal to
41.92 m
43.92 m
43 m
45.6 m
9.
The electric pole subtends an angle of 30° at a point on the same level as its foot. At a second point ‘b’ metres above the first, the depression of the foot of the pole is 60°. The height of the pole (in metres) is equal to
\(\sqrt { 3 } \) b
\(\frac { b }{ 3 } \)
\(\frac { b }{ 2 } \)
\(\frac { b }{ \sqrt { 3 } } \)
10.

2a
3a
0
2ab
12.
The value of \(si{ n }^{ 2 }\theta +\frac { 1 }{ 1+ta{ n }^{ 2 }\theta } \) is equal to
\(ta{ n }^{ 2 }\theta \)
1
\(cot^{ 2 }\theta \)
0
1.
Let PQ the height of the tower.
Take PQ = h and QR is the distance between the tower and the point R.in right triangle PQR,\(\angle \)PRQ=30°
tan\(\theta =\frac { PQ }{ QR } \)
tan30° = \(\frac { h }{ 48 } \) gives,\(\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } =\frac { h }{ 48 } \) so, h =\(16\sqrt { 3 } \)
Therefore the height of the tower \(16\sqrt { 3 } \) m
2.
tan2 \(\theta \) - sin 2\(\theta \) = tan2 \(\theta \) -\(\frac { si{ n }^{ 2 }\theta }{ co{ s }^{ 2 }\theta } \),cos2\(\theta \)
= tan2 \(\theta \) (1-cos2 \(\theta \) ) = tan2 \(\theta \) sin2 \(\theta \)
3.
Let AB be the height of the biggest tree and CD be the highest of the smaller tree and x is the point on the ground.
In the right triangle XCD, cos40° =\(\frac { CX }{ XD } \)
Therefore the distance between X and top of the smaller tree = XD =10.44m.

4.
\(\frac { sinA-sinB }{ cosA+cosB } +\frac { cosA-cosB }{ sinA+sinB } =0\)
\(\mathrm{LHS}=\frac{\sin A-\sin B}{\cos A+\cos B}+\frac{\cos A-\cos D}{\sin A+\sin B}
