Question

the angle of elevation from top of a tower whose two points at a distance 4m and 9m from base of tower and in the same straight line with it are complementary .
prove that height of the tower is 6 m

Answer 1

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER :-

Given AB is the tower.

P and Q are the points at distance of 4m and 9m respectively.

From fig, PB = 4m, QB = 9m.

Let angle of elevation from P be α and angle of elevation from Q be β.

Given that α and β are supplementary. Thus, α + β = 90

In triangle ABP,

tan α = AB/BP – (i)

In triangle ABQ,

tan β = AB/BQ

tan (90 – α) = AB/BQ (Since, α + β = 90)

cot α = AB/BQ

1/tan α = AB/BQ

So, tan α = BQ/AB – (ii)

From (i) and (ii)

AB/BP = BQ/AB

AB^2 = BQ x BP

AB^2 = 4 x 9

AB^2 = 36

Therefore, AB = 6.

Hence, height of tower is 6m.
