Question

,man wishes to estimate the distance of a nearby

tower from him standing at point A in front of tower C he

observed at its peak and then he walk perpendicular to AC up

to B , a distance of 100 m and looks at C again but there is an

angle shift of θ = 40° . Estimate AC.​​

Answer 1

$\underline{\underline{\red{\textbf{Step - By - Step - Explanation : -}}}}$

To Find :

• we have to find the distance from position A to C.

Solution :

• parallax angle θ = 40°
• AB = 100 m

Let r be the required distance and l be the distance between A and B.

we know that,

$\star\boxed{\underline{\blue{\bf{l= r\theta}}}}$

here,

• l = 100m
• θ = 40°
• r = ???

Changing theta into radian

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀40 × π/180

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀2π/9 radian

Now,

⠀⠀⠀›› 100 = r × 2π/9

⠀⠀⠀›› 100 = r × (2×22/7)/9

⠀⠀⠀›› 100 = r × (44/7)/9

⠀⠀⠀›› 100 = r × 44/7 × 1/9

⠀⠀⠀›› 100 = r × 44/63

⠀⠀⠀›› 100 × 64/44 = r

⠀⠀⠀›› r = 6300/44

⠀⠀⠀›› r = 143 m (approx)

Hence

• Distance of tower from position A to C is 143m.
