Find the height of a building if the angle of elevation from point A to the top is 30 degrees and the distance from point A to the base of the building is equal to 40 times the square root of 3.​

Respuesta :

Answer:

Let the height of building be  h  m.

Current angle of elevation is  30∘

Distance of observer from the base of building will be  hcot(30∘)  m =  h3–√  m

Now the observer moves  30  m towards the base of building.

New distance of observer from the base of building will be =  (h3–√−30)  m

New angle of elevation is  (30+15)∘=45∘

Distance of observer from the base of building will be  hcot(45∘)  m =  h  m

⇒h3–√−30=h

⇒h3–√−h=30

⇒h(3–√−1)=30

⇒h(3–√−1)=30

⇒h=303–√−1

⇒h=30(3–√+1)(3–√−1)(3–√+1)

⇒h=30(3–√+1)2

⇒h=15(3–√+1)

Height of the building is  15(3–√+1)  m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of building be  h  m.

Current angle of elevation is  30∘

Distance of observer from the base of building will be  hcot(30∘)  m =  h3–√  m

Now the observer moves  30  m towards the base of building.

New distance of observer from the base of building will be =  (h3–√−30)  m

New angle of elevation is  (30+15)∘=45∘

Distance of observer from the base of building will be  hcot(45∘)  m =  h  m

⇒h3–√−30=h

⇒h3–√−h=30

⇒h(3–√−1)=30

⇒h(3–√−1)=30

⇒h=303–√−1

⇒h=30(3–√+1)(3–√−1)(3–√+1)

⇒h=30(3–√+1)2

⇒h=15(3–√+1)

Height of the building is  15(3–√+1)  m.
