1. First position of aeroplane is
A COA = 60o, often 15 S, B is the
Position of aeroplene DOB=30o.

2. Let AB be the tower, CD be the building

In  ACD

3. Let AB and CD be two pillars of height h m each. AC be the road
equal to 8m.
h
In OAB, tan 60o tan

h = x 3 − − (i )
h 1 h
In OCD, tan 30o =  =

80 − x
x 3=  3x = 80 − x  x = 20m

From (i) h = x 3 = 20 3m
 AD = 20m, CO = 80 − 20 = 60m

4. Let AB be the light house and C and D are

the position of two ships.

AD
In DAB cot 45o =
AB
AD
1=  AB = AD = 75m
AB
AC x + 75
In CAB, cot 30o = =
AB 75
x + 75 o
3
 3=  75 − 75 = x
75
 75( 3 − 1) = x  x = 75  (1.732 − 1)
 75  .732 = 54.75m
