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
