two building are in front of each other on a road of Widht 15 meters from the top of the the first building having a height of 12 metres the angle of elevation of the top of second building is 30degree . what is the height of the second building
Answers
Two buildings are in font of each other on a road of width ( base ) = 15 m.
□ Height of the first building ( perpendicular ) = 12 m
□ And the angle of elevation of the top of the second building from first building = 30°.
□ Height of the second building = ?
□ Let's solve this question ,
______________________________________________________________
□ Let's suppose the height of the another remaining building be " x "
□ Then height of second building = " x " + height of first building.
□ Height of second building = x + 12.
□ Base of the building = base at the top of building.
=> 15 = 15
According to the question ,
=> Tan30° = perpendicular / base
[ Value of Tan30° = 1 / √3 ]
=> 1 / √3 = x / 15
=> x√3 = 15
=> x = 15 / √3
□ Now , we have to multiply 15 /√3 by √3 / √3
=> x = ( 15 /√3 ) × (√3 / √3 )
=> x = ( 15√3 ) / 3
=> x = 5√3
Hence , height of the remaining building = 5√3
[ Value of √3 = 1.73 ]
Now ,
=> 5 × 1.73
=> 8.65
□ Now , total height of the building = x + height of the first building [ as both are parallel ].
=> 8.65 + 15 = 23.65
□ Hence , the total height of the another building is 23.65 m. or 5√3 + 12.
