Soh
5. The angle of elevation of a bird from an observation point on the ground is 6·7!. cos 6.7 = 230/h
= 231.6
If the horizontal distance of the bird from the observation point is 230 m,
how high is the bird above the observation point?
tan 8 = o/405
7. A telegraph pole stands on a line joining two points P and Q on the ground.
The telegraph pole is 9 m tall. The angle of depression of the top of the pole to point P
is 4!. The angle of depression of the top of the pole to point Q is 7!. What is the
