(Q13) Suppose you are shooting an arrow from the top of a building at a height of 6 m to a target on the ground at an angle of depression of 60^o. What is the distance between you and the object?

Solution :

Height of the building = 6 m

Angle of depression = Angle of elevation at the ground = 60^o

Let the distance of the target from the shooting point = x m

Then from the figure

∴ Distance = √ m
