$A$ $10 \ m$ long ladder is placed against a wall. It is inclined at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ to the ground. The distance (in $m$) of the foot of the ladder from the wall is (Given $\sqrt{3} = 1.732$)

Two posts are $x \text{ m}$ apart and the height of one is double that of the other. If from the midpoint of the line joining their feet,an observer finds the angular elevations of their tops to be complementary,then the height (in $\text{m}$) of the shorter post is

The angle of elevation of a ladder leaning against a wall is $45^{\circ},$ and the foot of the ladder is $4.242 \ m$ away from the wall. The length of the ladder is (in $m$):

From the top of a lighthouse,$50 \ m$ above the sea,the angle of depression of an incoming boat is $30^{\circ}$. How far is the boat from the lighthouse?

$A$ tower subtends an angle of $30^{\circ}$ at a point on the same level as the foot of the tower. At a second point,$h \ m$ above the first,the angle of depression of the foot of the tower is $60^{\circ}$. The horizontal distance of the tower from the point is

The angle of elevation of a ladder leaning against a house is $60^{\circ}$ and the foot of the ladder is $6.5 \ m$ from the house. Find the length of the ladder in metres.
