One evening, Kaushik was in a park. Children were playing cricket. Birds were singing on a nearby tree of height 80m. He observed a bird on the tree at an angle of elevation of 45Β°. When a sixer was hit, a ball flew through the tree frightening the bird to fly away. In 2 seconds, he observed the bird flying at the same height at an angle of elevation of 30Β° and the ball flying towards him at the same height at an angle of elevation of 60Β°.

Question 38 (i)

At what distance from the foot of the tree was he observing the bird sitting on the tree?

We need to find distance of bird from foot of the tree. i.e we need to find CB Here, ∠ ABC = 90Β° In right angle triangle ABC tan C = (𝑆𝑖𝑑𝑒 π‘œπ‘π‘π‘œπ‘ π‘–π‘‘π‘’ π‘‘π‘œ π‘Žπ‘›π‘”π‘™π‘’" " 𝐢)/(𝑆𝑖𝑑𝑒 π‘Žπ‘‘π‘—π‘Žπ‘π‘’π‘›π‘‘ π‘‘π‘œ π‘Žπ‘›π‘”π‘™π‘’" " 𝐢) tan C = (" " 𝐴𝐡)/𝐡𝐢 tan 45Β° = πŸ–πŸŽ/π‘ͺ𝑩 1 = 80/𝐢𝐡 CB = 80 m
