Answer:
In △ABD,
tan60o=BDAB
3=xh
∴ x=3h ------- ( 1 )
Now in △ABC,
tan30o=BCAB
⇒ 31=x+40h
⇒ x+40=3h
∴ 3h+40=3h [ From equation ( 1 ) ]
⇒ h+403=3h
⇒ 2h=403
∴ h=203m
∴ The height of a tower is 203m.

QUESTION ⬇
The shadow of a tower standing on level ground is found to be 40 m longer when the Sun’s altitude is 30° than when it is 60°. Find the height of the tower?
ANSWER ⤵
»—>When the sun's altitude is at 30∘, ∠ADB=30∘and the length of the shadow=DB. So the length of the shadow is 40m when the angle changes from 60∘ to 30∘. That is CD=40m.
