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
