HEY,,,
HERE IS YOUR ANSWER.==>>
Suppose,
AB = Height of tower (h1)
CD = Height of building (h2)
BC = distance between tower and building (x)
_______________________
In ∆ ABC,
Tan 30 = AB/ BC
1/√3 = h1/x
x = √3 (h1) .....(1)
______________________
In ∆ BCD ,
Tan 60 = CD/BC
√3 = h2 / x
x = h2/√3. ......(2)
_______________________
COMPARE EQ. (1) AND EQ. (2),
√3h1 = h2/√3
3h1 = h2
h1/h2 = 1/3
So,
Ratio of height of tower and Height of building is 1:3.
HOPE IT HELPS.....
THANKS...
