The angle of elevation of the top of a tower 30 m high from the foot of another tower in the same plane is 60°. The angle of elevation of the top of second tower from the foot of the first tower is 30°. Find the distance between two towers and the height of the other tower. Also, find the length of the wire attached to the tops of both the towers.

Let distance between the two towers = AB = x m
and height of the other tower = PA = h m
Given that, height of the tower = QB = 30 m and {tex}\angle{/tex}QAB = 60°, {tex}\angle{/tex}PBA = 30°.

Now, in {tex}\Delta Q A B, \tan 60^{\circ}=\frac{Q B}{A B}=\frac{30}{x}{/tex}
{tex}\Rightarrow \sqrt{3}=\frac{30}{x}{/tex}
{tex}x=\frac{x^{2}}{3}-\frac{x}{3}-\frac{x-3}{3}-x+0.5 \pi{/tex}
and in {tex}\Delta P B A{/tex}
{tex}\tan 30^{\circ}=\frac{P A}{A B}=\frac{h}{x}{/tex}
{tex}\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{h}{10 \sqrt{3}}{/tex} {tex}[\because x=10 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{m}]{/tex}
{tex}\Rightarrow h = 10 m{/tex}
Hence, the requied distance and height are {tex}10\sqrt3{/tex} and 10m, respectively.

PQ is the length of the wire attached to the tops of both the towers

Ankit Class 1 year, 8 months ago

PQ=√x^2 +(30-h)^2 . PQ=√(10√3)^2 + (30-10)^2 . PQ=√ 300+400. PQ=√700. PQ= 10√7 m
