Answer:
yes it is true my friend you will understand one day
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
Therefore, in ΔABC,
tan = --(i)
Now the new height = 2*H = 2H
New distance = 2 * x = 2x
And let the angle of elevation ∠EDB be
Therefore, in ΔEBD,
tan =
tan =
tan = tan (from equation (i))
=> =
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.
