Question

A boy standing at a distance of 48 meters from a building observes the top of the building and makes an angle of elevation of 30°.Find the height of the building.

Answer 1

Hi ,

According to the problem given ,

distance from building to the boy = x = 48 m

angle elevation(α ) = 30°

Height of the building = h m

tan α = h/x

tan 30° = h/48

1/√3 = h/48

h = 48/√3

h = ( 48 × √3 )/3

h = 16√3 m

∴ Height of the building = h = 16√3 m

I hope this helps you.
