Step-by-step explanation:

Given vertical pole 20 metres long cast a shadow 20 root 3 long find the sun's altitude at the same time at our cost is Shadow 90 metres long determine the height of the tower

  • Let the height of the vertical building be m
  • So for both the buildings the angle of elevation is same.
  • now we have two triangles ABC and PQR
  • In triangle ABC
  • So height AB = 20 m, base BC = 20√3 m
  • In triangle PQR
  • So height PQ = m, base QR = 90 m
  • Now tan theta = AB/BC
  •                         = 20 / 20√3
  •                        = 1/√3-------------1
  • Also tan theta = PQ / QR
  •                        = m/90----------2
  • So from 1 and 2 we have
  •                     1/√3 = m/90
  •                        √3 m = 90
  •                  Or m = 90 / √3
  • Rationalising the denominator we get
  •                      m = 90 / √3 x √3/√3
  •                    m = 90 √3 / 3
  •                  Or m = 30 √3 m
