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 30° with the man's eye. The man walks some distance towards the tower to
watch its top and the angle of the elevation becomes 60°. 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 60° 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 = 60° and AC = 4.6 m.

AC 1
= cos 60° =
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 30°. The height 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 30° =
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 30°. 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 = 30° and AB = 100 m.

AB 1
= tan 30° =
AP 3

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