Ch.9 – Some Application OF Trigonometry


Formula
Sr. No Type Explanation
1 Horizontal Level and Line of sight is the line drawn from the eye of the
Line of Sight observer to the point on the object viewed by the
observer.
The horizontal level is the horizontal line through the eye
of the observer.
Angle of elevation The angle of elevation is relevant for objects above
the horizontal level. It is the angle formed by the
line of sight with the horizontal level. In the below
mentioned diagram, “θ” denotes the angle of
elevation.
2 Angle of depression The angle of depression is relevant for objects
below the horizontal level. It is the angle formed by
the line of sight with the horizontal level.

Summary
A • AC is the line of sight
β • BC is the distance between the observer and the
object.
Height

• AB is the height of the object


• α is the angle of elevation
• β is the angle of depression

Q From the top of a tower h m high, the angles of depression of two objects, which are in
line with the foot of the tower are α and β (β > α). Find the distance between the two
objects.

Q Two poles of equal heights are standing opposite each other on either side of the road,
which is 80 m wide. From a point between them on the road, the angles of elevation of
the top of the poles are 60° and 30°, respectively. Find the height of the poles and the
distances of the point from the poles.
Q
The angles of elevation of the top of a tower from two points at a distance of 4 m and
9 m from the base of the tower and in the same straight line with it are complementary.
Prove that the height of the tower is 6 m.
