Concept explainers

Average

In mathematics, everyone must have heard the term average in one place or other. Almost all types of calculation require taking out an average. In everyday life, the term is used for denoting a certain amount that can be said to be a typical quantity for multiple people or objects. In other words, if a group of people possesses a certain object, then the average gives us an idea regarding the quantity of the object possessed by each person. However, this is solely based on mathematical calculation. It is important to note that most people will not strictly have the average value in a group.

Question

Please answer Number 2 only.

2. A man is standing in front of a wall and looking at its topmost point. If the angle
of elevation is 60° and the height of the wall is 40 m, find the distance between
the foot of the man and the wall.
3. The height of a pole is 30 m. A man is standing at a distance of 20 m from the
foot of the pole. The man looks at the topmost point of the point from the place
where he is standing. Determine the angle made by the man's eye with the
topmost point of the pole.
