The tops of two poles of height $20 \ m$ and $14 \ m$ are connected by a wire. If the wire makes an angle $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal,then the length of the wire is $... \ m$.

The angle of elevation of the top of a tower from the top of a house is $60^\circ$ and the angle of depression of its base is $30^\circ$. If the horizontal distance between the house and the tower is $12 \ m$,then the height of the tower is

Two men are on the opposite sides of a tower. They measure the angles of elevation of the top of the tower as $45^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}$ respectively. If the height of the tower is $40 \, m,$ find the distance between the men.

The angle of elevation of the top of a $TV$ tower from three points $A$,$B$ and $C$ in a straight line through the foot of the tower are $\alpha, 2 \alpha$ and $3 \alpha$ respectively. If $AB = a$,then the height of the tower is

The angles of elevation of the top of a tower $A$ from the top $B$ and bottom $D$ of a building of height $a$ are $30^\circ$ and $45^\circ$ respectively. If the tower and the building stand at the same level,then the height of the tower is

$A$ ladder $5 \ m$ long leans against a vertical wall. The bottom of the ladder is $3 \ m$ from the wall. If the bottom of the ladder is pulled $1 \ m$ farther from the wall,how much does the top of the ladder slide down the wall?
