Step-by-step explanation:
Given from a point on the ground the angle of elevation of the bottom and top of a transmission Tower fixed at the top of a 20 m high building are 45 degree and 60 degree respectively find the height of the tower
- Let the building be PQ and tower be RP
- So height of the building is 20 m.
- So PQ = 20 m
- Let point of ground be A
- Now angle of elevation from point A to bottom of tower is 45 degree
- So angle PAQ = 45 degree
- Angle of elevation from point A to top of tower R = 60 degree
- So angle RAQ = 60 degree
- We need to find PR
- Now angle PQA = 90 degree
- So from triangle PAQ we have
- tan theta = opp side / adj side
- tan A = PQ / AQ
- tan 45 = 20 / AQ
- 1 = 20 / AQ
- Or AQ = 20 m
- Similarly from triangle RAQ
- tan A = QR / AQ
- tan 60 = QR / AQ
- √3 = QR / 20
- QR = 20 √3
- Now PQ + PR = 20√3
- 20 + PR = 20√3
- PR = 20√3 – 20
- PR = 20 (√3 – 1) m
- Therefore the height of the tower = PR = 20 (√3 – 1) m
