The point of observation is at A.
The height of the deck is 10 meters.
Thus, AB = CD = 10 meters
The top and bottom of a hill is E and C.
Therefore the angles of elevation and the depression are
.
Let AD = BC = x meters.
Consider the triangle ADE.
Thus,
Now consider the triangle ABC.
Substitute the value of x from equation (2) in equation (1), we have
Therefore
h = 30 meters .....(4)
The height of the hill is CE
That is,
Substitute the value of h from equation (4) in equation (5), we hve
Thus, the height of the hill is 40 meters and the distance of the hill from the ship is
