Height and Distance - General Questions

1. Two ships are sailing in the sea on the two sides of a lighthouse. The angle of elevation of the
top of the lighthouse is observed from the ships are 30° and 45° respectively. If the
lighthouse is 100 m high, the distance between the two ships is:
A.173 m
B.200 m
C. 273 m
D.300 m

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let AB be the lighthouse and C and D be the positions of the ships.

Then, AB = 100 m, ACB = 30° and ADB = 45°.

AB 1
= tan 30° =         AC = AB x 3 = 1003 m.
AC 3

AB= tan 45° = 1         AD = AB = 100 m.


AD

CD = (AC + AD)= (1003 + 100) m


= 100(3 + 1)
= (100 x 2.73) m
= 273 m.

2. A man standing at a point P is watching the top of a tower, which makes an angle of
elevation of 30º with the man's eye. The man walks some distance towards the tower to
watch its top and the angle of the elevation becomes 60º. What is the distance between the
base of the tower and the point P?
A.43 units
B.8 units
C. 12 units
D.Data inadequate
E. None of these

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

One of AB, AD and CD must have given.


So, the data is inadequate.

3. The angle of elevation of a ladder leaning against a wall is 60º and the foot of the ladder is
4.6 m away from the wall. The length of the ladder is:
A.2.3 m
B.4.6 m
C. 7.8 m
D.9.2 m

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let AB be the wall and BC be the ladder.


Then, ACB = 60º and AC = 4.6 m.

AC 1
= cos 60º =
BC 2

BC= 2 x AC
= (2 x 4.6) m
= 9.2 m.

4. An observer 1.6 m tall is 203 away from a tower. The angle of elevation from his eye to the
top of the tower is 30º. The heights of the tower is:
A.21.6 m
B.23.2 m
C. 24.72 m
D.None of these

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let AB be the observer and CD be the tower.


Draw BE CD.

Then, CE = AB = 1.6 m,

      BE = AC = 203 m.

DE 1
= tan 30º =
BE 3

203
DE = m = 20 m.
3

CD = CE + DE = (1.6 + 20) m = 21.6 m.

5. From a point P on a level ground, the angle of elevation of the top tower is 30º. If the tower
is 100 m high, the distance of point P from the foot of the tower is:
A.149 m
B.156 m
C. 173 m
D.200 m

Answer: Option C
Explanation:

Let AB be the tower.

Then, APB = 30º and AB = 100 m.

AB 1
= tan 30º =
AP 3

AP= (AB x 3) m
= 1003 m
= (100 x 1.73) m
= 173 m.
