Relation Between Altitude Base and Hypotenuse:
Let us refer to fig. again. If you want to find the height CD of the minar without actually measuring it, what information do you need? You would need to know the following:
(i) The distance DE at which the student is standing fromthe foot of the minar.
(ii) the angle of elevation, , of the top of the minar.
(iii) the height AE of the student.
Assuming that the above three conditions are known, how can we determine the height of the minar?
In the figure, CD = CB+ BD. Here, BD = AE, which is the height of the student.
To find BC, we eill use trigonometric ratios of
In , the side BC is the opposite side in relation to the known Now, which of the trigonometric ratios can we use? Which one of them has the two values that we have and the one we need to determine? Our search narrows down to using either tan A or cot A, as these ratios involve AB and BC.
Therefore, or , which on solving would given us BC.
By adding AE to BC, you will get the height of the minar.
Example: An electrician has to repair an electric fault on a pole of height 5 m.She needs to reach a point 1.3m below the top of the pole to undertake the repair work (see fig.) What should be the length of the ladder that she should use which, when inclined at an angle of to the horizontal, would enable her to reach the required position ? Also, how far from the foot of the pole should she place the foot of the ladder? (You may take )
SOLUTION: In fig. the electrician is requried to reach the point B on the pole AD.
SO, BD = AD - AB = (5 - 1.3)m = 3.7 m.
Here, BC represents the ladder. We need to find its length, i.e.., the hypotenuse of the right triangle BDC.
Now, can you think which trigonometric ratio should we consider?
It should be sin .
So,
Therefore,
i.e., the length of the laddershould be 4.28 m.
Now,
i.e., (approx)
Therefore, she should place the foot of the ladder at a distance of 2.14 m from the pole.
My experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
A marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.
It was good as the experience because as we had come here we had been improved in a such envirnment created here.Extra is taught which is beneficial for future.
About Abhyas metholodology the teachers are very nice and hardworking toward students.The Centre Head Mrs Anu Sethi is also a brilliant teacher.Abhyas has taught me how to overcome problems and has always taken my doubts and suppoeted me.
It was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
I have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
One of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.
Abhyas Methodology is very good. It is based on according to student and each child manages accordingly to its properly. Methodology has improved the abilities of students to shine them in future.
My experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
My experience was very good with Abhyas academy. I am studying here from 6th class and I am satisfied by its results in my life. I improved a lot here ahead of school syllabus.
