Question

A pole 6 m high is fixed on the top of a
tower. The angle of elevation of the top
of the pole observed from a point P on
the ground is 60°. The angle of
depression of the point P from the top
of the tower is 45°. Find the height of
the tower.
[Use 13 = 1.732]

Answer 1

Answer:

6.83m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the tower be h  

so °

the distance of the point A from the foot of tower be b

so so tan 45 =  

⇒ b = x   {tan 45° = 1}

for ΔABC  °

so tan 60° =  

⇒ √3x = x + 5  

⇒ 0.732x = 5

⇒ x ≈ 6.83 m ANSWER
