Answer 2

Answer:

Height of Building is 20 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Height of Tower, CD = 60 m

           Angle of elevation foot of tower to top of building = 30°

           Angle of elevation foot of building to top of tower = 60°

To find: Height of Building , AB

In ΔCDB,

$tan\,60^{\circ}=\frac{CD}{CB}$

$\sqrt{3}=\frac{60}{CB}$

$CB=\frac{60}{\sqrt{3}}$

In ΔABC,

$tan\,30^{\circ}=\frac{AB}{CB}$

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{AB}{CB}$

$CB=AB\sqrt{3}$

from above,

$AB\sqrt{3}=\frac{60}{\sqrt{3}}$

$AB=\frac{60}[3}$

$AB=20$

Therefore, Height of Building is 20 m
