Refer the attachment for figure.
Let's see the answer step by step.
In the figure,
AB is the building of height 72 metres.
The position of two persons is C and D. ( B - C - D )
Let BC be x and CD be y.
Angle of Elevation from C is 60°.
In right angled ∆ ABC,
tan Angle ACB = AB/BC = 72/x
So,
√3 = 72/x
x = 72/√3
( Rationalizing the denominator )
= 72√3 / 3
= 24√3 metres... (1)
Angle of Elevation from D is 30°
In right angled ∆ ABD,
tan Angle ABD = tan 30° = AB/BD
= 72/(x + y)
From (1),
1/√3 = 72/(24√3 + y)
24√3 + y = 72 √3
y = 72√3 - 24√3
y = 48√3
( √3 = 1.73 )
y = 48 × 1.73
y = 83.04 metres.
Hence,
Distance between the two persons is 83.04 metres.
Hope it helps.
Solution:-
Given ;
Height of Tower = 72m.
To Find;
Distance B/w the two person = ?
Find;
Let "X" be the Distance between the two boys.
& (x + y) be the Distance between the last boy to the foot of the building.
In ∆ ABC,
Tan 60° = AB/ BC
=> √3 = 72 / BC
=> BC = 72 / 1.73
=> BC = 41.61 m.
Now,
In ∆ ABD,
Tan 30° = AB/ BD
=> 1/√3 = 72 / (x + y)
=> x + y = 72 × 1.73
=> x = 124.56 - 41.61
=> x = 82.95.
Hence, The Distance between the two boys is 82.95m
