Answer:
The height of the multi storey building and the distance between the two building is 43.704 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Refer the attached figure
Height of building i.e. AB = DC =8 m
The angle of depression to the top of the building AB from the top of a multi storey building i.e. ∠EAD = 30°
The angle of depression to the the bottom of the building AB from the top of a multi storey building i.e. ∠EBC = 45°
We are supposed to find the distance between two buildings i.e. BC =AD
Let ED be x
In ΔAED
Using trigonometric ratio
Tanθ=Perpendicular/Base
Tan30°=ED/AD
AD=X/1/√3 -1
In ΔEBC
Using trigonometric ratio
Tanθ=Perpendicular/Base
Tan45°=EC/DC
BC=8+xBC=8+x ---2
Since BC = AD
So, equate 1 and 2
8+x=x/1/√3
8+x=√3x
8=√3x-x
8=x(√3-1)
8=0.732050x
8/0.732050=x
10.92=x10.92=x
Substitute the value of x in 2
BC=10.92+32.784
BC=43.704
Hence the height of the multi storey building and the distance between the two building is 43.704 m.
