angle of 30° with the horizontal. Find the length of the wire.
6. The shadow of a tower standing on a level plane is found to be 50 m longer when sun’s elevation 2
is 30° then when it is 60°. Find the height of the tower.

m towards the tower, the angle of elevation of the top increases by 15°. Find the height of the
tower.

angle of elevation of bottom and top of flag staff are 45° and 60° respectively. Find the height
of the tower.

of the river are 30° and 45° respectively. If the bridge is at a height of 3 m from the banks, find
the width of the river.
