Question Bank: Height and Distances

Basic Level

1. A boy is looking at the top of a tree at an angle of elevation of 30°. If the tree is 20 m tall,
find the distance between the boy and the base of the tree.
2. From a point on the ground, the angle of elevation of the top of a building is 45°. If the
height of the building is 30 m, find the distance of the point from the building.
3. The angle of elevation of the top of a flagpole from a point 15 m away from its base is
60°. Find the height of the flagpole.
4. A ladder leans against a wall, making an angle of 60° with the ground. If the ladder is 10
m long, find the height it reaches on the wall.
5. The shadow of a tower is 20 m long when the angle of elevation of the sun is 45°. Find

towards the hill, the angle of elevation becomes 60°. Find the height of the hill.
7. Two buildings are 30 m apart. The height of one building is 50 m, and the angle of
elevation of the top of the taller building from the top of the shorter building is 30°. Find
the height of the shorter building.

from its base are complementary. Find the height of the tower.

Mixed Applications

closer to the tree, the angle of elevation becomes 60°. Find the height of the tree.
17. The angle of elevation of the top of a building from a point on the ground is 30°. After
moving 50 m closer to the building, the angle of elevation becomes 60°. Find the height
of the building.
18. A balloon is observed from two points on the ground at angles of elevation of 30° and
60°. The points are 100 m apart. Find the height of the balloon.
19. A person standing on a hill observes the angles of depression of two cars parked at
distances of 50 m and 100 m as 30° and 45°, respectively. Find the height of the hill.
