Let the AB (short pole) = a m
⇒ MJ (Tall pole) = 2a m
Midpoint of of BJ be E
⇒Let BE=JE=x m
⇒ angle AEB =30°
⇒ angle MEJ = 60°
In triangle ABE
Tan 30° = AB/BE
1/ √3 = a/x [By cross multiplication]
⇒x=a√3 ----------------------1
In triangle MJE
Tan 60° = MJ/JE
√3 = 2a/x
x√3 = 2a [From 1]
a√3(√3) = 2a
3a - 2a =0
a=0
∴ Height of the short pole is 0 m.
