NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 - Some Applications of Trigonometry (Exercise 9.1) - 1

Q1. A circus artist is climbing a 20 m long rope, which is tightly stretched and tied from the top of a vertical pole to the ground. Find the height of the pole, if the angle made by the rope with the ground level is 30° (see figure).

NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 - Some Applications of Trigonometry (Exercise 9.1) - 1Ans: Given: length of the rope (AC) = 20 m, ∠ACB = 30°
Let the height of the pole (AB) = h metre

⇒ h/20 = 1/2⇒ h = 20/2 = 10 m
Hence, height of the pole = 10 m

Q2. A tree breaks due to a storm and the broken part bends so that the top of the tree touches the ground making an angle 30° with it. The distance between the foot of the tree to the point where the top touches the ground is 8 m. Find the height of the tree.
Ans: Let DB is a tree and AD is the broken part of it that touches the ground at C.

NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 - Some Applications of Trigonometry (Exercise 9.1) - 1Given: ∠ACB = 30º
and BC = 8m
Let AB = x m
and AD = y m
∴ Now, length of the tree
= (x + y) m

Q3. A contractor plans to install two slides for the children to play in a park. For the children below the age of 5 years, she prefers to have a slide whose top is at a height of 1.5 m, and is inclined at an angle of 30° to the ground, whereas for older children, she wants to have a steep slide at a height of 3 m, and inclined at an angle of 60° to the ground. What should be the length of the slide in each case?
Ans: Let l1 is the length of the slide for children below the age of 5 years and l2 is the length of the slide for elder children.

Q5. A kite is flying at a height of 60 m above the ground. The string attached to the kite is temporarily tied to a point on the ground. The inclination of the string with the ground is 60°. Find the length of the string, assuming that there is no slack in the string.
Ans: Given: height AB = 60 m, ∠ACB = 60°, AC = length of the string
NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 - Some Applications of Trigonometry (Exercise 9.1) - 1NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 - Some Applications of Trigonometry (Exercise 9.1) - 1
Hence, the length of the string = 40√3 m


Q6. A 1.5 m tall boy is standing at some distance from a 30 m tall building. The angle of elevation from his eyes to the top of the building increases from 30° to 60° as he walks towards the building. Find the distance he walked towards the building.
Ans: Let  AB = height of the building
