tree. (use √ 3 = 1.732] (36 6. M)
15. A man standing on the deck of a ship, which is 10 m above the water level. He observes that the angle
of elevation of the top of a hill is 60° and the angle of depression of the base of the hill is 30°. Calculate
the distance of the hill from the ship and height of the hill. (10√ 3, 40m)

of elevation of the parrot from the eyes of girl at any instant is 60°. The parrot flies away horizontally in
such a way that it remained at a constant height from the ground. After 8 s, the angle of elevation of the
parrot from the same point is 30°. Based on the above information, answer the following questions. (use
