2.i) Two of the sides given

Example: Find the angle of elevation of the sun when the shadow of a pole
of 18 m height is 6√3 m long?

Given:
Perpendicular = 18 m
Base = 6√3 m
Angle =? 18

Solution: θ
tan θ = perpendicular/base 6√3
= 18/ 6√3
= 3/√3
= √3
θ = 60º

 2.ii) One angle and one of the sides given

Example: From a point P on a level ground, the angle of elevation of the top
tower is 30º. If the tower is 100 m high, then what is the distance of point P
from the foot of the tower.

Given:
Perpendicular = 100 m
Angle = 30º 100
Base =?
30º
Solution:
base
tan θ = perpendicular/base
tan 30º = 100/base
1/ √3 = 100/base
Base = 100 √3
= 173 m

 2.iii) Two heights and one angle

Example: An observer 1.6 m tall is 203√3 m away from a tower. The angle of
elevation from his eye to the top of the tower is 30º. Find the height of the tower.

 2.iii) Two heights and one angle

Example: An observer 1.6 m tall is 203√3 m away from a tower. The angle of
elevation from his eye to the top of the tower is 30º. Find the height of the tower.

Given:

perpendicular
Base = 203√3 m
Angle = 30º

Height = perpendicular + 1.6 = ?

30º
Solution: 1.6

tan θ = perpendicular / base 203√3

tan 30º = perpendicular / 203√3
1/ √3 = perpendicular / 203√3
Perpendicular = 203√3 / √3
Perpendicular = 203 m
Height of the tower = perpendicular + 1.6
= 203 + 1.6
= 204.6m

 2.iv) Two angles and one height

Example: An aeroplane when 100√3 m high passes vertically above another

aeroplane at an instant when their angles of elevation at same observing point are
60° and 45° respectively. Approximately, how many meters higher is the one than
the other?

Given:
Perpendicular 1 = 100√3 m

Perpendicular 2
Angle 1 = 60°
Angle 2 = 45° 100√3
60º
45º

Difference b/w the heights =Perpendicular 1 - Perpendicular 2 = ?

© Department of Analytical skills

 Solution:

Angle 1 = Perpendicular 1/ Base

tan 60° = 100√3 / base
√3 = 100√3 /base
Base = 100√3 / √3
Base = 100

Angle 2 = Perpendicular 2/ Base

tan 45° = Perpendicular 2 / 100
1 = Perpendicular 2 / 100
Perpendicular 2 = 100

Difference b/w the heights =Perpendicular 1 - Perpendicular 2

= 100√3 – 100
= 173 – 100
= 73 m

© Department of Analytical skills

 2.v) Two angles and two heights

Example: Two towers face each other separated by a distance d = 20 m. As

seen from the top of the first tower, the angle of depression of the second
tower's base is 60o and that of
the top is 30o. What is the height

Base 1
30o
of the second tower?
60o

Base 2
Given:
Angle 1 = 90o - 30o = 60o
Angle 2 = 90o - 60o = 30o
Perpendicular = 20m
20
Height of the second tower = Base 2 – Base 1

© Department of Analytical skills

 Solution:

Angle 2 = perpendicular/base 2
tan 30o = 20 / base 2
1/√3 = 20 / base 2
Base 2 = 20√3

Angle 1 = perpendicular / base 1

tan 60o = 20 / base 1
√3 = 20 / base 1
Base 1 = 20 / √3

Height of the second tower = Base 2 – Base 1

= 20√3 – 20 / √3
= 20√3 - 20√3 / 3
= 20√3 ( 1 – 1/3)
= 20√3 (2/3)
= 40√3 / 3

 2.vi) Calculating time and speed

Example: You are stationed at a radar base and you observe an unidentified
plane at an altitude h = 2000 m flying towards your radar base at an angle of
elevation = 30o. After exactly one minute, your radar sweep reveals that the
plane is now at an angle of elevation = 60o maintaining the same altitude. What
is the speed (in m/s) of the plane?

2000
Given: 60 o
Angle 1 = 30o
30o
Angle 2 = 60o
Perpendicular = 2000 m Base 2
Time = 60 sec
Speed = distance / time Base 1
= (base 1 – base 2) / time

© Department of Analytical skills

 Solution:

Angle 1 = perpendicular / base 1

tan 30o = 2000 / base 1
1/√3 = 2000 / base 1
Base 1 = 2000√3

Angle 2 = perpendicular / base 2

Angle 60o = 2000 / base 2
√3 = 2000 / base 2
Base 2 = 2000 / √3

Speed = distance / time

= (base 1 – base 2) / time
= (2000√3 - 2000 / √3) / 60
= 200√3 / 9 m/s

Cubes and Dice
 Introduction of Cubes:

As you know cubes are three-dimensional figure with each of its

dimension having same measurements. The dimensions are named as length,
breadth and height. Let us first start with questions related to cutting the cubes
into different number of prices.
Structure of a Cube:
Different type of folding's:
Painted Cubes:

Let’s start with a set of questions,

A bigger cube is painted to same color on each of its faces. Now the cube is
cut into 64 identical pieces making minimum number of cuts.

Question 1: How many of the smaller cubes will have exactly three faces
painted?
Question 2: How many of the smaller cubes will have exactly two faces
painted?
Question 3: How many of the smaller cubes will have exactly one face
painted?
Question 4: How many of the smaller cubes will have no face painted?
4 * 4 Cube:

We should be aware of few terms such as corners, faces and edges.
Here we can see that a cube has 8 corners, 6 faces and 12 edges.
Question 1: How many of the smaller cubes will have exactly three faces
painted?

For a proper cube the answer is always 8.

Question 2: How many of the smaller cubes will have exactly two faces
painted?

For an n*n*n cube the answer will be 12(n-2)

=12(4-2)=24.
Question 3: How many of the smaller cubes will have exactly one face
painted?

For an n*n*n cube the answer will be 6(n-2)2

= 6(4-2)2 = 24
Question 4: How many of the smaller cubes will have no face painted?

For an n*n*n cube the answer will be (n-2)3

=(4-2)3 =8.
Practice Questions:

Directions for Q1 to Q5:

Use the following information to answer the questions given below
