Question:-
A peacock it sitting on the top of a tree. It observes serpent on the ground making an angle of depression 30°. The peacock with the speed of 300 m/minute catches the serpent in 12 seconds. What is the height of the tree?
Given:-
a) A peacock it sitting on the top of a tree. It observes serpent on the ground making an angle of depression 30°.
b) The peacock with the speed of 300 m/minute catches the serpent in 12 seconds.
Find:- The height of the tree?
Solution:-
{According to figure}
let position of peacock is A and AB is height of tree from base, mean's tree perpendicular to its base. let, position of peacock is A from base B and angle of depression is angle DAC.
First we need to find the speed of peacock in meter/second .
so now { from given ( b ) }
=> 300 m/minute = {300/60} m/s
=> 300 m/minute = 5 m/s ...... ( 1 )
{ from given ( b ) }
The peacock catches the serpent in 12 seconds.
mean's {from ( 1 )} peacock cover
12 × 5 m distance .
Now, distance cover by pecock in 12 seconds = 12 × 5 = 60 m ..... ( 1 )
{According to given & figure & ( 1 )}
position of serpent ( C ) 60 m away from peacock ( A )
Hence, AC = 60 m ...... ( 2 )
According to figure and given angle of depression is 30° which is alternate to angle ACB mean's angle ACB = 30° {alternate angle property}
To find height of tree we use sin ratio.
{ According to figure } position of pecock ( A ) , tree (AB) & serpent ( C ) are make an right angle triangle, so
=> AB = hypotenuse
now According to sin ratio & figure { we theta = 30° }
=> sin (theta)
= (opposite side)/(hypotenuse)
=> sin (theta) = ( AB )/(AC)
=> sin 30° = ( AB )/( 60 )
{ we know sin 30° = 1/2 }
=> 1/2 = ( AB )/(60) i.e.
=> AB = 60/2
=> AB = 30 m ...... ( 3 )
we know AB is height of tree.
Hence { From ( 3 ) }
Height of tree is 30 m.
i hope it helps you.
