Answer:
The height of towers is 35.35 m and 70.7 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Refer the attached figure
The distance between two vertical pillars is 100 m i.e. AB = 100 m
Let the height of one pillar i.e. CB = x
Now we are given that height of one of them is double of the other.
So, The height of other pillar i.e. AD = 2x
Now we are given that the angle of elevation of the top at the midpoint i.e. E of the line joining their seats are complementary
∠CEB = y
So, ∠CEA=90-y
AE = EB = 50 m
In ΔACE
---1
In ΔECB
---2
Equate 1 and 2
So, Height of tower CB is 35.35 m
Height of tower AD = 2x= 2(35.35)=70.7m
Hence The height of towers is 35.35 m and 70.7 m
