The angular elevation of a tower $CD$ at a point $A$ due south of it is $60^\circ$ and at a point $B$ due west of $A$,the elevation is $30^\circ$. If $AB = 3 \, km$,the height of the tower is

  • A
    $2\sqrt{3} \, km$
  • B
    $2\sqrt{6} \, km$
  • C
    $\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} \, km$
  • D
    $\frac{3\sqrt{6}}{4} \, km$

$AB$ is a vertical pole with $B$ at the ground level and $A$ at the top. $A$ man finds that the angle of elevation of the point $A$ from a certain point $C$ on the ground is $60^{\circ}$. He moves away from the pole along the line $BC$ to a point $D$ such that $CD = 7 \ m$. From $D$,the angle of elevation of the point $A$ is $45^{\circ}$. Then the height of the pole is

Two parallel towers $A$ and $B$ of different heights are at some distance $d$ on the same level ground. If the angle of elevation of a point $P$ at $20\,m$ height on tower $B$ from a point $Q$ at $10\,m$ height on tower $A$ is $\theta$,and this angle is equal to half the angle of elevation of point $R$ at $50\,m$ height on tower $A$ from point $P$ on tower $B$,then $\theta$ is equal to....$^o$

The angle of elevation of the top $P$ of a tower from the feet of one person standing due South of the tower is $45^{\circ}$ and from the feet of another person standing due West of the tower is $30^{\circ}$. If the height of the tower is $5 \text{ m}$,then the distance (in meters) between the two persons is equal to $..........$.

Let a vertical tower $AB$ of height $2h$ stand on a horizontal ground. From a point $P$ on the ground,a man can see up to height $h$ of the tower with an angle of elevation $2\alpha$. When he moves a distance $d$ from $P$ in the direction of $\overline{AP}$,he can see the top $B$ of the tower with an angle of elevation $\alpha$. If $d=\sqrt{7}h$,then $\tan \alpha$ is equal to:
