Answer :

AB is a tower. D and Care two points on the same side of a tower, BD = a and BC = b.


∠ADB and ∠ACB are the complementary angles.

If ∠ADB = x, then ∠ACB = 90 – x

In ∆ADB,


………… (1)

In ∆ABC,


…………....(2)

Multiplying (1) and (2),



(AB)2 = ab

AB = √ab

Height of tower = AB = √ab

Hence proved.
