the height of a building is 11 metre and the height of a pole is 8 metre watching from the midpoint of the line segment joining their base angle of elevation of the top of the pole is a and then of the top of the building is beta then what is dash building true
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Height of pole AD = 15\sqrt{2}15

Height of pole EB= 30\sqrt{2}30

Step-by-step explanation:
Refer the attached figure
The distance between two vertical poles is 60 m i.e. AB = 60 m
The height of one of the pole is double the other.
Let the height of Pole AD be x
So, height of other pole BE = 2x
The angles of elevation of the top of the poles from the mid point of the line segment joining their feet are complementary.
⇒∠DCA+∠ECB=90°
Let ∠DCA be y
then
∠ECB=90°-y
Since we are given that angle of elevation was measured from the midpoint of AB
AC +CB=60
2AC = 60
AC =30
⇒AC=CB =30 m

x=15\sqrt{2}x=15

Thus the height of pole AD = 15\sqrt{2}15

Height of pole EB = 2x = 30\sqrt{2}30
