a man on the Deck of a ship 12m above water level observed that the angle of elevation of the top of Cliff is 60 degree and angle of depression of the base of Cliff is 30 degree. find the distance of the Cliff from the ship and the height of the Cliff. use √3 = 1.732
Answers
say yes or no.☺
Answer:Refer the attached figure.
A man standing on the deck of a ship is 12 m above water level.i.e.BE = DC=12 m
The angle of elevation of the top of a cliff is 45 degree i.e. ∠ABC=45°
The angle of depression of the base of the cliff is 30 degree i.e. ∠DBC=45°
Height of the cliff = AD
The distance of the cliff from the ship =BC
Using trigonometric ratio
In ΔABC
Tan \theta = \frac{Perpendicular}{Base}
Tan 45^{\circ}= \frac{AC}{BC}
1= \frac{AC}{BC}
AC=BC
In ΔBCD
Tan \theta = \frac{Perpendicular}{Base}
Tan 30^{\circ}= \frac{DC}{BC}
\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}= \frac{12}{BC}
BC=12\sqrt{3}
BC=12\times 1.732
BC=20.784
The distance of the cliff from the ship =BC=20.784 m
BC =AC = 20.784 m
Height of cliff = AD = AC+DC= 20.784+12=32.784 m
Hence The distance of the cliff from the ship is 20.784 m and Height of cliff is 32.784 m
