Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given A man sees the top of the tower in a mirror which is at distance of 80.4 m from the tower. the mirror is on the ground facing upwards the man is 0.6 m away from the mirror and is height is 1.8 m. how tall is the tower

• Given AB = height of tower
• CD = distance of man from mirror
• CB = distance of man from tower
• ED = distance of eye level of man from the ground
• Now triangle CDE (AA  postulate)
• Therefore CD /  CB = ED / AB
•     So 0.6 / 80.4 = 1.8 / AB
• AB = (1.8 x 80.4) / 0.6
•      = 241.2 m
• AB = 241.2 m

Height of the tower = 241.2 m

Answer 2

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.
