ANSWER
Given that:
∠APB=60
∘
,∠CPD=30
∘
,AC=80m
To find:
The height of the pole=AB=CD=?
Solution:
Let AB and CD be the two poles of equal height and P be the point on the road between the poles.
In △APB,
tan60
∘
=
AP
AB
or, AP=AB×
tan60

or, AP=

In △PCD,
tan30
∘
=
CP
CD
or, CP=CD×
tan30

or, CP=

CD=

AB ∵AB=CD −−−−−−−(ii)
Adding eqn. (i) and eqn. (ii) we get,
AP+CP=

or, 80m=4
