15. A tower in a city is 150 m high and a multistoreyed
hotel at the city centre is 20 m high. The angle of
elevation of the top of the tower at the top of the
hotel is 59. A building, h metres high, is situated
on the straight road connecting the tower with
the city centre at a distance of 1.2 km from the
tower. Find the value of h if the top of the hotel,
the top of the building and the top of the tower
are in a straight line. Also, find the distance of
the tower from the city centre.
(Use tan 5° = 0.0875, tan 85º = 11.43).

Answer:
Let the tower be AB ,hotel be EF and building be CD .
AB= 150m ,EF= 20m ,CD = h , BD = 1200m
Let DF = Xm
PE= BF= BD + DF = (1200+X)m
In triangle APE
tan angle AEP =AP /PE
tan 5 °= AP/PE
AB -PB / BF = tan 5°
AB-EF /BD + DF = tan 5°
150-20/1200+ X = tan 5°
130/ 1200+X = 0.0875
130=( 1200+X )(0.0875)
130 = 150 + 0.0875 x
X = 25/0.0875
X= 286 (approx)
Now in triangle CQE , CQ= CD-DQ= h - EF = h- 20
Also , CQ / QE = tan 5°
h- 20 =286 × 0.0875
h-20=25
h = 45m
Distance of the tower = BD + DF
BD + QE
1200 + 286
= 1486 m ( approx )
