$A$ ladder leans against a wall such that its lower end makes an angle of measure $\theta$ with the ground. If its lower end is $a \ m$ away from the base of the wall,then the ladder reaches the wall at a height of $\ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots \ m$.

  • A
    $a \cot \theta$
  • B
    $a \tan \theta$
  • C
    $a \sec \theta$
  • D
    $a \operatorname{cosec} \theta$

$A$ $1.2 \, m$ tall girl spots a balloon moving with the wind in a horizontal line at a height of $88.2 \, m$ from the ground. The angle of elevation of the balloon from the eyes of the girl at any instant is $60^{\circ}$. After some time,the angle of elevation reduces to $30^{\circ}$. Find the distance travelled by the balloon during this interval.

$A$ pole stands on the ground. Watching from the top of the pole,the angle of depression of a stone on the ground $10 \, m$ away from the pole is $60^{\circ}$. Then the height of the pole is $\ldots \ldots \ldots \, m$. (Take $\sqrt{3} = 1.73$.)

$A$ pole stands vertically on the ground. The length of the shadow of the pole is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ times the height of the pole. Then,the angle of elevation of the sun is $\ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots . . .$ (in $^\circ$)

$A$ ladder rests against a vertical wall at an inclination $\alpha$ to the horizontal. Its foot is pulled away from the wall through a distance $p$ so that its upper end slides a distance $q$ down the wall and then the ladder makes an angle $\beta$ to the horizontal.
Show that $\frac{p}{q}=\frac{\cos \beta-\cos \alpha}{\sin \alpha-\sin \beta}$
