Before I begin I would like to tell u that drawing and being aware of the diagram is very important for trigonometric application questions. If u get the diagram right then more than 75% of the question is considered over.
Tower AB= 36m
Distance of observer at C=BC
tan 45°=AB/BC
1 = 36/BC
BC= 36m
Distance of observer at D=DB
tan 30°=AB/DB
1/√3=36/DB
DB= 36√3m
DB= 36×1.7320
DB= 65.352m
SO DISTANCE OF VIEWER FROM POINT C IS 36m WHILE FROM POINT D IT'S 65.352m
YOU ARE WELCOME!
