Two vertical poles $AB = 15 \ m$ and $CD = 10 \ m$ are standing apart on a horizontal ground with points $A$ and $C$ on the ground. If $P$ is the point of intersection of $BC$ and $AD$,then the height of $P$ (in $m$) above the line $AC$ is:

$A$ person observes the angle of elevation of a building as $30^\circ$. The person proceeds towards the building with a speed of $25(\sqrt{3} - 1) \, m/hour$. After $2 \, hours$,he observes the angle of elevation as $45^\circ$. The height of the building (in meters) is:

The angle of elevation of the top of a pillar at a point $A$ on the ground is $15^\circ$. On walking $40 \ m$ towards the pillar,the angle becomes $30^\circ$. The height of the pillar is $... \ m$.

From a point $a$ metre above a lake,the angle of elevation of a cloud is $\alpha$ and the angle of depression of its reflection is $\beta$. The height of the cloud is

$A$ ladder $5 \ m$ long leans against a vertical wall. The bottom of the ladder is $3 \ m$ from the wall. If the bottom of the ladder is pulled $1 \ m$ farther from the wall,how much does the top of the ladder slide down the wall?

$A$ vertical pole (more than $100 \, ft$ high) consists of two portions,the lower being one-third of the whole. If the upper portion subtends an angle $\tan^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})$ at a point in a horizontal plane through the foot of the pole and at a distance of $40 \, ft$ from it,then the height of the pole is......$ft$.
