the angles of elevation and depression of the top and the bottom of a tower of a 60 metres high are 30° and 60° respectively. Find the difference between the height of the building and the tower and the distance between them, the height of the building and the distance between them.

In ΔBTP,
tan 30° = TP/BP
1/√3 = TP/BP
BP = TP√3
In ΔGTR,
tan 60° = TR/GR
√3 = TR/GR
GR = TR/√3
As BP = GR
TP√3 = TR/√3
3 TP = TP + PR
2 TP = BG
TP = 50/2 m = 25 m
Now, TR = TP + PR
TR = (25 + 50) m
Height of tower = TR = 75 m
Distance between building and tower = GR = TR/√3
GR = 75/√3 m = 25√3 m
