Question

The angle of depresion of a car standing on the ground foom the top of a66 m tower is 30. Find the distance of car from the base of the tower

Answer 1

66√3 will be the distance of car from the base when we apply tan theta

Answer 2

h - height of tower = 66m

x - angle of depression =30°

d- distance of car from base of tower = d

Therefore,

sinx = h/d=sin30

1/2=66/d

d= 66 x 2

d=132m
