A circus artist is climbing from the ground along a rope stretched from the top of a vertical pole and tied at the ground. The height of the pole is 12 m and the angle made by the rope with ground level is `30o` . Calculate the distance covered by the artist in climbing to the top of the pole.

A

24m

B

6 m

C

12 m

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
(i) Draw a figure as per the situation described then use the concept, `sintheta =("Opposite side to" theta)/("Hypotenuse")`.
Given `theta` and opposite side, find hypotenuse which is the required length of the rope.
