What is the best solution for the question of class 10th ncert math of the applications of trigonometry chapter of exercise 9.1 of question no.3 sir give me the best way to solve this problem A contractor plans to install two slides for the children to play in a park. For the children below the age of 5 years, she prefers to have a slide whose top is at a height of 1.5 m, and is inclined at an angle of 30° to the ground, whereas for elder children, she wants to have a steep slide at a height of 3m, and inclined at an angle of 60° to the ground. What should be the length of the slide in each case?

As per contractor’s plan,
Let, ABC is the slide inclined at 30° with length AC and PQR is the slide inclined at
60° with length PR.
To Find: AC and PR
In right ΔABC,
sin 30° = AB/AC
1/2 = 1.5/AC
AC = 3
Also,
In right ΔPQR,
sin 60° = PQ/PR
⇒ √3/2 = 3/PR
⇒ PR = 2√3
Hence, length of the slide for below 5 = 3 m and
Length of the slide for elders children = 2√3 m
