1. Nazima is fly fishing in a stream. The trip of her fishing rod is 1.8m above the
surface of the water and the fly at the end of the string rests on the water 3.6m
away and 2.4 m from a point directly under the trip of the rod. Assuming that
her string (from the trip of the rod to the fly) is that, how much string does she
have out (see the figure)? If she pills in the string at the rate of 5 cm per second,
what will be the horizontal distance of the fly from her after 12 seconds?

ships are 30° and 45°. If one ship is exactly behind the other on the same side of the lighthouse, find the distance
between the two ships.
14. A 1.2 m tall girl spots a balloon moving with the wind in a
horizontal line at a height of 88.2 m from the ground. The angle of
elevation of the balloon from the eyes of the girl at any instant is
60°. After sometime, the angle of elevation reduces to 30° (see
figure). Find the distance travelled by the balloon during the
interval.

15. Two poles of equal heights are standing opposite each


other on either side of the road, which is 80 m wide. From a point
between them on the road, the angles of elevation of the top of the poles are 60° and 30° respectively. Find the
height of the poles and the distance of the point from the poles.

centre of the circle

AC.

19. In figure, XY and X’Y’ are two parallel tangents to a circle, x with
centre O and another tangent AB with point of contact C intersecting XY at A
and X’Y’ at B. Prove that ∠AOB = 90°.
