Question 1.

The angle of elevation of a cloud from point h meter above a lake is α. The angle of
depression of its reflection in the lake is 450. Find the height of the cloud

Question 2.

A tree breaks due to storm and the broken part bends so that the top of the tree
touches the
ground making an angle 300 with it. The distance between the foot of the tree to
the point where the top touches the ground is 8m. Find the height of the tree

Question 3

The shadow of a building increases by 10 meters when the angle of elevation of the
sun rays decreases from 600 to 450, what is the height of the building?

Question 4

An airplane, flying horizontally 1000m above the ground, is observed at an angle


of elevation 600 from a point on the ground. After a flight of 10 seconds, the angle
of elevation at the point of observation changes to 300. Find the speed of the plane
in m/s.

Question 5

From the top of a h meters high building, the angle of depression to the bottom of a
second building is 30 degrees. From the same point, the angle of elevation to the
top of the second building is 45 degrees. Calculate the height of the second
building.

Question 6
