Question

The top of two clock tower of height x and y standing in a level of ground subtends an angles of 30 and 60 degrre at the centre of the line joining their feet then x:y is .....
Height and distance
solution....
​

Answer 1

In Triangle ABE,

tan 30 = x/a

=> x = a tan 30

Then,

In triangle CED,

tan 60 = y/a

=> y = a tan 60

Now,

(x/y) = tan 30/tan 60

=> x/y = 1/3

=> x : y = 1 : 3
