(a) Without using Mathematical tables or calculators, simplify : \(\frac{2\tan 60^\circ + \cos 30^\circ}{\sin 60^\circ}\) (b) From an aeroplane in the air and at a horizontal distance of 1050m, the angles of depression of the top and base of a control tower at an instance are 36^\circ and 41^\circ respectively. Calculate, correct to the nearest meter, the : (i) height of the control tower ; (ii) shortest distance between the aeroplane and the base of the control tower.
