Case Study-1

13. Trigonometry in the form of triangulation forms the basis of navigation, whether it is
by land, sea or air. GPS, a radio navigation system, helps to locate our position on
earth with the help of satellites.
A guard, stationed at the top of a 240 m tower, observed an unidentified boat coming
towards it. A clinometer or inclinometer is an instrument used for measuring angles or
slopes(tilt). The guard used the clinometer to measure the angle of depression of the
boat coming towards the lighthouse and found it to be 30°.

(i) Make a labeled figure on the basis of the given information and calculate the
distance of the boat from the foot of the observation tower. [2 marks]
 (ii) After 10 minutes, the guard observed that the boat was approaching the tower and
its distance from the tower was reduced by 240( 3 – 1) m. He immediately raised the
alarm. What was the new angle of depression of the boat from the top of the
observation tower? [2 marks]

14. Amit is planning to buy a house and the layout is given below. The design and the
measurement has been made such that areas of two bedrooms and kitchen together
is 95 sq.m.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions:

14.1 What is the area of the living room in the layout and what is the cost of laying tiles
in the kitchen at the rate of rupees 50 per sq m ? [2 marks]
14.2 What could be the pair of linear equations in two variables from the above
situation ? [2 marks]
