ANSWER

Let AB is the tower of height x m and BC is the flagstaff of height 10 m. Let D be the point from where the angles of elevation are 450 and

600 such that BDA = 450 and CDA = 600

In DAB, tan 450 = AB/AD

1 = x/AD AD = x

In DAC, tan 600 = AC/AD

= (10+x)/x

x = 10+x

(

-1)x = 10

x = 10/(

+ 1)

x = 5(
