Questions  

A vertical pole stands at a point A on the boundary of a circular park of radius ‘a’ and subtends an angle  β at another point B on the boundary. If the chord AB subtends an angle α at the center of the park, the height of the pole is

a
2asin⁡α2tan⁡β
b
2acos⁡α2tan⁡β
c
2asin⁡α2cot⁡β
d
2acos⁡α2cot⁡β

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Suppose that h be the height of the pole from triangle APB,tan⁡β=hAB⇒h=ABtan⁡β from triangle ABC,sin⁡α2=AB2a⇒AB=2asin⁡α2∴h=2asin⁡α2tan⁡β
