Question

manu 1.5 m tall is standing at the edge of a River see the top of a tree on the opposite edge at an angle of elevation 30 degree stepping back a distance of some he sees it's top at an angle of elevation 15 degree find the height of the tree and width of the river​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let CD=h be the height of the tree and BC=x be the breadth of the river.

From the figure ∠DAC=30

∘

and ∠DBC=60

∘

In right angled triangle △BCD,tan60

∘

=

BC

DC

=

x

h

⇒h=x

.....(1)

From the right-angled triangle △ACD

tan30

∘

=

40+x

h

⇒

=

40+x

h

⇒

h=40+x .......(2)

From (1) and (2) we have

(x

)=40+x

⇒3x=40+x

⇒3x−x=40

⇒2x=40

⇒x=

2

40

=20

From (1) we get h=x

=20

=20×1.732=34.64m

∴ Height of the tree=34.64 m and width of the river=20m
