Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

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.
