Answer:
Given,
the angle of elevation of the top of the tower from two points P & Q is at a distance of a & b.
Also given, to prove that the tower
height=
ab
(∵ complementary angle =(90
o
−θ))
From ΔABP
tanθ=
BP
AB
=
a
AB
……..(1)
From ΔABQ
tan(90−θ)=
BQ
AB
(∵tan(90−θ)=cotθ)
(cotθ=
tanθ
1
We get,
cotθ=
AB
BQ
=
AB
b
……..(2)
by equation (1) & (2) we get,
a
AB
=
AB
b
⇒AB
2
=ab⇔AB=
ab
∴AB=height=
ab
Hence proved.
