in the sky, which is at a vertical distance of 11 m The shooter
points the gun towards the bird at an angle of elevation of
30° with the horizontal

If the shooter is holding the gun at a height of 1 m from the
ground, then what is the horizontal distance between the bird and
the shooter?

Given that: BC = 11 m and AP = 1m So, CQ = BC â€“ AP = 11 â€“ 1 = 10 m Let horizontal distance between the bird and the shooter = x m In

,

Hence, the horizontal distance between the bird and the shooter is 10
