Question

From the top of a building 60m high, the angle of elevation and depression of the top and the foot of another building are α and β respectively. Find the height of the second building.​

Answer 1

The height of the lamp is 45 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the line segment AB represents the height of the lamp ( where A is the top of the lamp ), ED represents the height of the building,

While C is any point on ED such that CA ║ DB and CA = DB

Thus, by the below diagram,

In triangle ECA,

Now, in triangle EDB,

Thus,

√3 EC = 60 / √3

⇒ 3 EC = 60 ⇒ EC = 20

Since, AB = CD = ED - EC = 60 - 20 = 40 meters,

Hence, the height of the lamp post is 40 meters.
