1. Plz solve these questions.(Trignometry statement questions)

anyway, in this problem, let the angle of elevation be $x$ and the distance from the foot of the pole to the point be $d$ (see the diagram below).

we can use the tangent trig ratio here.

problem 2:

$\tan x = \frac {\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = \frac {12}d$

$\Rightarrow d = \frac {12}{\tan x}$

now, if we know what x is, we can find the distance. otherwise, leave it like that. try the others, be sure to draw diagrams so you know how to think about the problem

4. The angle of elevation to the top of a chimney from a point on the ground is 30°.
After walking 50 m towards the chimney, the angle of elevation becomes 45°.
Find the height of the chimney.
Code:
```                                  * C
                              * * |
                          *   *   |
                      *     *     | h
                  *       *       |
              *         *         |
          * 30°       * 45°       |
      * - - - - - - * - - - - - - * 
      A     50      B      x      D```
Let $CD = h$, the height of the chimney.

When the observer stands at $A,\:\angle CAD = 30^o.$

At $B$ (where $AB = 50$), $\angle CBD = 45^o.$

Let $x = BD.$

In right triangle $CDA\!:\;\frac{h}{x+50} \:=\:\tan30^o \:=\:\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \quad\Rightarrow\quad \sqrt{3}h \:=\:x + 50\;\;{\color{blue}[1]}$

In right triangle $CDB\!:\;\frac{h}{x} \:=\:\tan45^o \:=\:1 \quad\Rightarrow\quad x \:=\:h\;\;{\color{blue}[2]}$

Substitite [2] into [1]: . $\sqrt{3}h \:=\:h + 50 \quad\Rightarrow\quad \sqrt{3}h - h \:=\:50$

Factor: . $(\sqrt{3}-1)h \:=\:50 \quad\Rightarrow\quad h \:=\:\frac{50}{\sqrt{3}-1} \;\approx\;\boxed{68.3\text{ m}}$

3. The top of a tree is broken and the broken part makes a 30° angle with the ground.
The distance from the tip of the tree to the base of the tree is 40 m.
Find the height of the tree.
Code:
```    A *
      |   *
      |       *
      |           *
      |           30° *
    C * - - - - - - - - - * B
              40```
This is a 30-60 right triangle.

We know the ratios of ths sides . . . . $AC : BC : AB \:=\:1 : \sqrt{3} : 2$

Hence, we have: . $AC : BC : AB \;=\;\frac{40\sqrt{3}}{3} : 40 : \frac{80\sqrt{3}}{3}$

The height of the tree is: . $AC + AB \;=\;\frac{40\sqrt{3}}{3} + \frac{80\sqrt{3}}{3} \;=\;\frac{120\sqrt{3}}{3} \;=\;\boxed{40\sqrt{3}\text{ m}}$

5. hai

just find the distance and u can find the answer .....
its just too easy.......
