Relation Between Altitude Base and Hypotenuse
Relation Between Altitude Base and Hypotenuse
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.

8thMy 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.

10thMy experience with Abhyas Academy has been very good. When I was not in Abhyas whenever teacher ask questions I could not speak it confidently but when I came in Abhyas, my speaking skills developed and now I am the first one to give the answer of teachers question.

8thUsually we see institutes offering objective based learning which usually causes a lag behind in subjective examinations which is the pattern followed by schools. I think it is really a work of planning to make us students grab the advantages of modes of examination, Objective Subjective and Onli...

8thWe started with lot of hope that Abhyas will help in better understnding of complex topics of highers classes. we are not disappointed with the progress our child has made after attending Abhyas. Though need to mention that we expected a lot more. On a scale of 1-10, we would give may be 7.
