CLASS X/ MATHEMATICS/ ASSIGNMENT – APPLICATION OF


TRIGONOMETRY
OBJECTIVE
1 Venus rotates in a nearly circular orbit around the sun. The largest angle formed
by Venus, Earth, and the sun is 45°. The distance from Earth to the sun is
approximately 149 million kilometers. See the following figure. What is the
orbital radius r of Venus? Round to the nearest million kilometers.

(a) 48 (b) 105 (c) 56 (d) 145

2 Meteorologists find the height of a cloud using an instrument called a


ceilometer. It consists of a light projector that directs a vertical light beam up
to the cloud base and a light detector that scans the cloud to detect the light
beam.

On July 2, 2021, at Midway Airport in Mumbai, a ceilometer was employed to


find the height of the cloud cover. It was set up with its light detector 50 meter
from its light projector. If the angle of elevation from the light detector to the
base of the cloud was 60°, what was the height of the cloud cover?
(a) 140 m (b) 260 m (c) 210 m (d) 180 m

3 A skateboarder wishes to build a jump ramp that is inclined at a 30c angle and that
has a maximum height of 2 meter. What is the horizontal width of the ramp?

(a) 2.6 m (b) 3.5 m (c) 5.9 m (d) 4.6 m

4 Golf is a game played in an open field where the golfer plays his golf ball into a
hole by using different types of clubs (golf instruments). In golf, a golfer plays a
number of holes in a given order. 18 holes played in an order controlled by the
golf course design, normally make up a game.

On your approach shot to the ninth green, the Global Positioning System (GPS)
your cart is equipped with tells you the pin is 180 meter away. The distance plate
states the straight line distance to the hole is 90 meter. Relative to a straight line
between the plate and the hole, at what acute angle should you hit the shot?
(a) 60° (b) 30° (c) 90° (d) 45°

5 The fire brigade is an organization which has the job of putting out fires; used
especially to refer to the people who actually fight the fires.

A fire brigade ladder-truck arrives at a highrise apartment complex where a fire


has broken out. The maximum length the ladder extends is 40 meter and the angle
of inclination is 45°. Assume the ladder is mounted atop a 3 meter high truck.

6 How high up the side of the building does the ladder reach?

(a) 22.46 m (b) 31.28 m (c) 14.39 m (d) 28.46 m


7 What is the length of base of truck?

(a) 12.46 m (b) 28.28 m (c) 8.96 m (d) 31.28 m


8 Water Slide Design : Slide shown in the figure is part of a design for a water slide.

What is the length of flat part of slide.


(a) 44.69 m (b) 22.16 m (c) 16.34 m
