A man is watching a boat speeding away from the top of a tower. The boat makes an angle of depression of 60o with
the man’s eye when at a distance of 200 m from the tower. After 10 seconds, the angle of depression becomes 45o.

11. What is the approximate speed of the boat (in km/hr), assuming that it is sailing in still water?

12. How far is the boat when the angle is 45o?

13. What is the height of tower?
14. As the boat moves away from the tower, angle of depression will decrease/increase?

16. A girl on a ship standing on a wooden platform, which is 50 m above water level, observes the angle of elevation [5]

of the top of a hill as 30o and the angle of depression of the base of the hill as 60o. Calculate the distance of the
hill from the platform and the height of the hill.
17. The angle of elevation of a cloud from a point 60m above the surface of the water of a lake is 30 and the angle
