From the top of a light-house 60 metres high with its base at the sea-level, the angle of depression of a boat is 15°. The distance of the boat from the foot of the light house is
A
$$\left( {\frac{{\sqrt 3 - 1}}{{\sqrt 3 + 1}}} \right)60\,{\text{metres}}$$
B
$$\left( {\frac{{\sqrt 3 + 1}}{{\sqrt 3 - 1}}} \right)60\,{\text{metres}}$$
C
$${\left( {\frac{{\sqrt 3 + 1}}{{\sqrt 3 - 1}}} \right)^2}{\text{metres}}$$
$$\eqalign{
& HD = BD \cdot \tan \angle EBC = c\cos B \cdot \tan \left( {{{90}^ \circ } - C} \right) \cr
& HD = \frac{{c\cos B \cdot \cos C}}{{\sin C}} = 2R\cos B\cos C \cr
& HD = \frac{{2R\cos A\cos B\cos C}}{{\cos A}}. \cr} $$
Similarly for others. So, the ratio of the distances of the orthocentre from the sides $$ = \frac{1}{{\cos A}}:\frac{1}{{\cos B}}:\frac{1}{{\cos C}}.$$

If in a $$\vartriangle ABC,c\,{\cos ^2}\frac{A}{2} + a\,{\cos ^2}\frac{C}{2} = \frac{{3b}}{2},$$ then $$a,b,c$$ are in

The angle of elevation of the top of a tower from two places situated at distances $$21\,m.$$ and $$x\,m.$$ from the base of the tower are $${45^ \circ }$$ and $${60^ \circ }$$ respectively. What is the value of $$x\,?$$

If in a $$\Delta \,ABC\,\,a\,{\cos ^2}\left( {\frac{C}{2}} \right) + c\,{\cos ^2}\left( {\frac{A}{2}} \right) = \frac{{3b}}{2},$$ then the sides $$a, b$$ and $$c$$
$$QS : SR = PQ : PR$$ (as bisector of an angle, in a triangle, divides the opposite side in the same ratio as the sides containing the angle.)

Given that $$a, b, c$$ are the sides of a triangle $$ABC$$ which is right angled at $$C,$$ then the minimum value of $${\left( {\frac{c}{a} + \frac{c}{b}} \right)^2}$$ is
90.
Each side of an equilateral triangle subtends an angle of $${60^ \circ }$$ at the top of a tower $$h\, m$$ high located at the centre of the triangle. If $$a$$ is the length of each of side of the triangle, then
