Question

The angle of elevation of the top of a buliding from the foot of a tower is 30 degree and the andle of elevation of the top of the tower from the foot of the building is 60degree if the hirght of the buildign is 50m then find the height of the tower.

Answer 1

height of the tower= 50*3/4

37.5 m

Answer 2

Answer:

The angle of elevation of the top of a building from the foot of the tower is 30°.

The angle of elevation of the top of tower from the foot of the building is 60°.

Height of the tower is 50 m.

Let the height of the building be h.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf In \: \Delta BDC$

$:\implies \sf tan \: \theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}$

$:\implies \sf tan \: 60^{\circ} = \dfrac{CD}{BD}$

$:\implies \sf \sqrt{3} = \dfrac{50}{BD}$

$:\implies \sf BD = \dfrac{50}{ \sqrt{3} } \: m$

$\sf In \: \Delta ABD,$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf tan \: 30 ^{\circ} = \dfrac{AB}{BD}$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf \dfrac{1}{ \sqrt{3} } = \dfrac{AB}{BD}$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf \dfrac{1}{ \sqrt{3} } = \dfrac{h}{ \dfrac{50}{ \sqrt{3} } }$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf h = \dfrac{ 50 }{ \sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3} }$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \underline{ \boxed{\sf Height= \dfrac{50}{3} \: m }}$

$\therefore\:\underline{\textsf{Height of the building is \textbf{50/3 meter}}}.$
