Answer:

It is true that if the height and distance  between the observer and foot of tower is doubled, the angle of elevation remains same​.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attachment for the reference.

Let AB be the height of the building = H

Let BC be the distance between the tower foot and the observer = x

And let the angle of elevation ∠ACB be \theta\\

Therefore, in ΔABC,

tan  \theta\\ = \frac{H}{x}                                                                       --(i)

Now the new height = 2*H = 2H

New distance = 2 * x = 2x

And let the angle of elevation ∠EDB be \phi

Therefore, in ΔEBD,

tan  \phi = \frac{2H}{2x}

tan  \phi = \frac{H}{x}

tan  \phi = tan  \theta\\          (from equation (i))

=> \phi = \theta\\    

Therefore, it is true that if the height and distance  between the observer and foot of tower is doubled, the angle of elevation remains same​.
