38. Case Study -3

A group of students of class X visited India Gate on an educational trip . The teacher and students
had interest in history as well. The teacher narrated that India Gate, official name Delhi Memorial,
originally called AlI- India War Memorial, monumental sandstone arch in New Delhi , dedicated to
also said
the troops of British India who died in Wars fought between 1914 and 1919. The teacher
that India Gate, which is located at the eastern end of the Rajpath (formally called the Kingsway),is
about 138 feet (42 metres) in height.

Based on the above information answer the following questions. 1

(i) Draw a neat labelled figure to show the above situation diagrammatically.
What is the angle of elevation if they are standing at a distance of 42m away from the 1
(i)
monumnent?
(i) If the altitude of the Sun is at 60°,then find the height of the vertical tower that will cast a 2

shadow of length 2Om.

[OR]
They want to see the tower at an angle of 60°. So, they want to know the distance where
they should stand and hence find the distance.
