A tower is 50m high. Its shadow is 'x' metres shorter when the sun's altitude is
45° than when it is 30°. Find the value of x.

plz mark me brainliest
Step-by-step explanation:
The height of the tower is 50 m high
The length of the shadow is X, when the shadow is being casted at an angle of 45 degrees
When the length of the shadow is being casted at 30 degrees the length of the shadow is X + 50
Therefore, the value of X is
\begin{gathered}\begin{array}{l}{\tan 45^{\circ}=\frac{A}{l e n g t h \text { of the shadow at } 45}} \\ {\tan 45^{\circ}=\frac{A}{50}} \\ {A=50}\end{array}\end{gathered}tan45∘=length of the shadow at 45Atan45∘=50AA=50
The length of the shadow is X, when the shadow is being casted at an angle of 45 degrees is 50 m
Hence, the length of the tower to the length of the shadow falls at 30 degree is
\begin{gathered}\begin{array}{l}{\tan 30^{\circ}=\frac{50}{l e n g t h \text { of the shadow at } 30}} \\ {\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{50}{x+50}} \\ {x=50(\sqrt{3}-1)}\end{array}\end{gathered}tan30∘=length of the shadow at 305031=x+5050x=50(3−1)
Therefore, the value of the X is
\begin{gathered}\bold{\begin{aligned} 50(\sqrt{3}-1) &=50 \times 0.732 | \\ &=36.6 m \\ &=3660 \mathrm{cm} \end{aligned}}\end{gathered}50(3−1)=50×0.732∣=36.6m=3660cm
Step-by-step explanation:
i) A tower is 50 m high. Its shadow is x m shortel when the Sun's altitude is 45° than when it is 30°, then x =.
