Let a vertical tower $AB$ have its end $A$ on the level ground. Let $C$ be the mid-point of $AB$ and $P$ be a point on the ground such that $AP = 2AB$. If $\angle BPC = \beta$,then $\tan \beta$ is equal to:

  • A
    $\frac{4}{9}$
  • B
    $\frac{6}{7}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{4}$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{9}$

$AB$ is a vertical pole resting at the end $A$ on the level ground. $P$ is a point on the level ground such that $AP = 3 \, AB$. If $C$ is the mid-point of $AB$ and $CB$ subtends an angle $\beta$ at $P$,the value of $\tan \beta$ is

An observer in a boat finds that the angle of elevation of the top of a tower standing on the top of a cliff is $60^\circ$ and that of the top of the cliff is $30^\circ$. If the height of the tower is $60 \ m$,then the height of the cliff is ... $m$.

The angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a point $A$ due south of the tower is $\alpha$ and from a point $B$ due east of the tower is $\beta$. If $AB = d$,then the height of the tower is

$A$ person observes the top of a tower from a point $A$ on the ground. The angle of elevation of the tower from this point is $60^{\circ}$.
