Answer:
The tower is 24.12 m tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
top of tower is at a distance of 80.4 metres from the tower.
The man is 0.6 metres away from the mirror
the man's height is 1.8 metres.
(height of man) / (distance of man form mirror) = (height of tower) / (distance of tower from mirror)
1.8 m / 0.6 m = (height of tower) / 80.4
therefore height of tower = 0.3 × 80.4 = 24.12 m

Given :
- A man sees the top of a tower in a mirror which is at a distance of 80.4 metres from the tower. The mirror is on the ground facing upwards. The man is 0.6 metres away from the mirror and his height is 1.8 metres.
ㅤㅤ
Find :
- How tall is the tower?
ㅤㅤ
Calculations :
- Let "x" be the height of the tower.
ㅤㅤ
→ x = 0.6/80.4
→ x = 1.8/x
ㅤㅤ
→ x = (1.8 * 80.4)/0.6
→ x = 144.72/0.6
→ x = 241.2 m
ㅤㅤ
Therefore ,
- 241.2 meter is the height of the tower.
