Consider a regular hexagon ABCDEF. Two towers are situated at B and C. The angle of elevation from A to the top of the tower at B is 30 deg, and the angle of elevation to the top of the tower at C is 45 deg. What is the ratio of the height of towers at B and C?

Correct Answer: 1:3

Let the side of regular hexagon be ‘a’

Let height of the tower 1 be h1 and tower 2 be h2

Height of tower 1 = h1 = (distance between A and B)* (tan 30o)= a.1/√3

Distance between A and C = 2*√3.a/2= √3a

Height of tower 2 = h2 = (distance between A and C)* (tan 45o) = √3a.1 = √3a

Ratio of height of towers at B and C respectively =a/√3/√3a = 1/3.

 

Pearl Towers is taller than Sky Towers but shorter than Unity Towers. Unity Towers and Cyber Towers are of same height. Pearl Towers is shorter thanIndus Towers. Amongst the buildings, who is the second shortest?

The angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a certain point is 30°. If the observed moves 20 m towards the tower, the angle of elevation the angle of elevation of top of the tower increases by 15°. The height of the tower is

A person, standing exactly midway between two towers, observes the top of the two towers at angle of elevation of 22.5° and 67.5°. What is the ratio of the height of the taller tower to the height of the shorter tower? (Given that tan 22.5° = $$\sqrt 2 - 1$$ )

The angle of elevation of the top of a hill at the foot of the tower is 60 deg and the angle of elevation of the top of the tower from the foot of the hill is 30 deg. If the tower is 50 m high, what is the height of the hill?

The angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a point A on the ground is 30°. On moving a distance of 20 metres towards the foot of the tower to apoint B, the angle of elevation increases to 60°. The height of the tower in meters is

The angle of elevation of the top of a 36 m tall tower from the initial position of a person on the ground was 60 deg. She walked away in a manner that the foot of the tower, her initial position and the final position were all in the same straight line. The angle of elevation of the top of the tower from her final position was 30 deg. How much did she walk from her initial position?

The height of a tower is 300 meters. When its top is seen from top of another tower,then the angle of depression is 60°. The horizontal distance between thebases of the two towers is 120 metres. What is the height (in metres) of the small tower?

The angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a certain point is 30°. If the observer moves 40 m towards the tower, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower increases by 15°. The height of the tower is:

For drawing a regular hexagon, the fastest method is to draw the hexagon using the circle and then cutting arcs equal to the diameter which is equal to the side of the regular hexagon.

A tower is broken at a point P above the ground. The top of the tower makes an angle 60° with the ground at Q. From another point R on the opposite sideof Q angle of elevation of point P is 30°. If QR = 180 m, then what is the total height (in metres) of the tower?
