Question

Two poles are 200 m apart if from the middle of the point the line joining their feet the angle of wlwvation are 30° and 60° find the ratio of tbe height

Answer 1

Answer - 0.333

Explanation

• In ∆ AOB , Tan(30)° = 1/√3 = X/100

Therefore, X = 100/√3 - Equation (1)

• In ∆ COD , Tan(60)° = √3 = Y/100

Therefore , Y = √3 × 100 - Equation (2)

From Equation (1) and (2) We get ,

X/Y = 1/3 = 0.3333
