Question

The angle of depression of car parked on the road from the top of a 150m high tower is 30°. Find the distance of the car from the tower?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

ANSWER

Given: Height =150 m

Angle of depression =30o

Consider the diagram,

In ΔABC,

Let, distance of the car from tower BC=x m,

In ΔABC,tan30o=ABAC

So, tan30o=31

Therefore, AC=1503

So, distance between the tower and car is 150 root 3 m
