In {tex}\triangle A B C,{/tex} {tex}\tan 60 ^ { \circ } = \frac { A B } { B C }{/tex} 
{tex}\Rightarrow \quad A B = \sqrt { 3 } B C{/tex}  .....(i)
In {tex}\triangle A B D,{/tex}  
{tex}\tan 30 ^ { \circ } = \frac { A B } { B C + 40 }{/tex} 
{tex}\frac{ 1}{√3}=\frac{AB}{BC+40}=\frac{√3BC}{BC+40}{/tex}
3BC = BC + 40
BC = 20, Hence from (i) we get
AB = 20√3 = 20 {tex}\times{/tex} 1.73 = 34.6 meter
