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
    $\frac{3\sqrt{6}}{4} \, km$

$A$ balloon is observed simultaneously from three points $A, B$ and $C$ on a straight road directly under it. The angular elevation at $B$ is twice and at $C$ is thrice that of $A$. If the distance between $A$ and $B$ is $200$ metres and the distance between $B$ and $C$ is $100$ metres,then the height of the balloon is:

From the base of a pole of height $20 \text{ m}$,the angle of elevation of the top of a tower is $60^{\circ}$. The pole subtends an angle of $30^{\circ}$ at the top of the tower. Then the height of the tower is

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:

$A$ person standing on the top of a building of height $60 \sqrt{3}$ feet observed the top of a tower to lie at an elevation of $45^{\circ}$. That person descended to the bottom of the building and found that the top of the same tower is now at an angle of elevation of $60^{\circ}$. The height of the tower (in feet) is

$A$ tower of height $b$ subtends an angle $\alpha$ at a point $O$ on the level of the foot of the tower and at a distance $a$ from the foot of the tower. If a pole of height $p$ mounted on the tower also subtends an equal angle $\alpha$ at $O$,the height of the pole $p$ is:
