There is a $100\, m$ high tower at some distance from a cliff. The angle of elevation of the top of the cliff from the base of the tower is $45^{\circ}$ and the angle of depression of the base of the cliff from the top of the tower is $30^{\circ}$. Find the height of the cliff and also the distance between the tower and the cliff.

The height of a building is $11 \, m$ and the height of a pole is $8 \, m$. Watching from the midpoint of the line segment joining their bases,the angle of elevation of the top of the pole is $\alpha$ and that of the top of the building is $\beta$. Then,$\ldots \ldots \ldots$ holds true.

Two poles are $x$ metres apart and the height of one is double than that of the other. If from the midpoint of the line joining their feet,an observer finds the angle of elevation of their tops to be complementary,then the height of the shorter pole is $\ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots$
