suppose the students of a school are visiting qutub minar. now if a student is looking at top of the minar a right triangle can be imagined to be made. can the student find the height of minar without measuring it?

Dear Student,

Please find below the solution to the asked query:

From given information we form our diagram , As :

Here , Right angle = $\angle$ ABC  =  90$°$

So, We can find height of Qutub minar by trigonometric ratio :

tan $\mathrm{\theta } = \frac{\mathrm{Opposite}}{\mathrm{Adjacent}}$

If we know angle of elevation = x and distance of foot of minar from the boy  =  AB .

Hope this information will clear your doubts about topic.
