Question

ABCD is a rectangular field.A vertical lamp post of height 12m stands at the corner A.if the angle of elvention of its top from B is 60°and from C is 45° , then the area of the field is

Answer 1

The area of the field is 48√2 m^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let AE is a vertical lamp post.

AE = h = 12 m

Tan(60°) = 12/AB

AB = 12/√3 = 4√3 m

Tan 45° = 12 / AC =>AC = 12 m

BC = √[(12)^2 - (4√3)^2 ]= √96

=√( 4 × 4 × 3 × 2) = 4√6 m

Area of the field = 4√3 × 4√6

= 16√18 = 16√(3×3×2) = 48√2 m^2 Or 67.88 m^2

Hence the area of the field is 48√2 m^2.
