Answer:
The height of the tree is 36.63 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
Given Data:
In rt.△PRS,
x = RS cot 30°
x = RS √3
Step 2:
x = √3 RS........ (i)
In rt.△RSQ,
SQ = RS cot 45°
Step 3:
(100-x) = RS
x=100 - RS........ (ii)
Step 4:
Equating (i) and Equation(ii) we have:
√3 RS = 100 – RS
Step 5:
2.73 RS = 100
RS = 36.63 m
