Re: Trigonometry

Hi bobbym, Howardroark, and anonimnystefy,

The solution T#13 is perfect. Excellent!

T#14. If sin θ = cos θ and θ is acute, find the value of tan θ.

Re: Trigonometry

Hi bobbym and anonimnystefy,

The solution T#14 is correct. Brilliant!

T#15. A flag staff stands on the top of one high tower. From a point on the ground the angle of elevation of the top of the flag staff is 60[sup]o[/sup] and from the same point the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is 45[sup]o[/sup]. Find the height of the flag staff.

Re: Trigonometry

Hi bobbym and Maiya,

I am sorry I forgot to mention the height of the tower is 6 meters. Regretted!

T#16. A man standing on top of a multistoreyed building 45 meter high is looking at two advertising pillars on the same side whose angles of depression are 30 degrees and 45 degrees. What is the distance between the two pillars?

Re: Trigonometry

Hi bobbym and Arthur Bon Zavi,

The solution T#16 is correct. (45(√3 - 1)). Excellent, bobbym!

T#17. A surveyor needs to determine the height of a light-house. He measures the angle at A and finds that tan A = 3/4. What is the height of the light-house, if A is 40 meters from the base?
