CASE STUDY
36. Rajcev got a clinometer (a tool that is used to measure the angle of clevation) fromn the
school lab and started measuring the clevation angle in his surroundings. He saw a
building on which the society logo is painted on the wall of the building. From a point
Pon the ground level, the angle of elevation of the roof of the building is 45. The
angle of elevation of the centre of logo is 30° from same point. The point P is at a
distance of 24 m from the base of the building.

30°
pus
Based on the infornmation, answer the following questions:
What is the height of the building logo from the ground? (1M)
What is the height of the buikding from the ground? (IM)
ijk. a. What is the aerial distance of the point P from the top of the buikding? (2M)
OR
i. b. If the point of observation P is moved 16m towards the base of the building,
then find the angle of elevation of the logo on the building. (2M)

37. Adventure camps are the perfect place for the children to practice decision making for
themselves without parents and teachers guiding their every move. At one such camp at
Sakleshpur, the waiters served some students with a welcome drink in a cylindrical
glass with diameter as 7cm and height as10.5cm and some students in a hemispherical
cup whose diameter is 7cm shown below. After that they went for a jungle trek. As
dusk feBl, each group of four students was given a canvas of area 551m. Each group
had to make a conical tent to accommodate all the four students. Assuming that all the
stitching and wasting incurred while cutting, would amount to lm', the students put the
tents. The radius of the tent is 7m.

hemispherical cup is 7cm? (2M)
