Question

A 1.5 m tall boy is standing at some distance from a 30 m tall building. The angle of elevation from his eyes to the top of the building increases from 30° to 60° as he walks towards the building. Find the distance he walked towards the building.

Answer 2

AnswEr:-

Let the boy initially stand at point Y with inclination 30° and then he approaches the building to the point X with inclination 60°.

To Find:

The distance boy walked towards the building i.e. XY

Then,

→ XY = CD.

Height of the building = AZ = 30 m.

⇒ AB = AZ – BZ = 30 – 1.5 = 28.5

→Measure of AB is 28.5 m

In right ΔABD,

⇒ tan 30° = AB/BD

⇒ 1/√3 = 28.5/BD

⇒ BD = 28.5√3 m

Again,

In right ΔABC,

⇒ tan 60° = AB/BC

⇒ √3 = 28.5/BC

⇒ BC = 28.5/√3 = 28.5√3/3

→Therefore, the length of BC is 28.5√3/3 m.

⇒XY = CD = BD – BC

⇒ (28.5√3-28.5√3/3) = 28.5√3(1-1/3)

⇒ 28.5√3 × 2/3 = 57/√3 m.

Thus, the distance boy walked towards the building is 57/√3 m.
