The angle of elevation of the top of the building from the foot of the tower is 30° and the angle of the top of the tower from the foot of the building is 60°. If the tower is 50 m high, find the height of the building.
Answer:
Solution:A common notion in trigonometry, specifically, is the angle of elevation, which has to do with height and distance. It is described as an angle formed by the horizontal plane and an oblique line between the observer's eye and a target above it.
Let AB be the building and CD be the tower.
Given,
The angle of elevation of the top of the building from the foot of the tower is 30o.
And, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower from the foot of the building is 60o.
Height of the tower = CD = 50 m
From the fig. we have
In ΔCDB, CD/ BD = tan 60o 50/ BD = √3 BD = 50/√3 …. (i) Next in ΔABD, AB/ BD = tan 30o AB/ BD = 1/√3 AB = BD/ √3
AB = 50/√3/ (√3) {From (i)}
AB = 50/3

Given height of tower CD=50m
Let the height of the building, AB=h
In right angled △BDC,
⇒ tan60 o = BD CD ⇒ 3 = BD 50 ⇒ BD= 3 50 m
In right angled △ABD,
⇒ tan30 o = BD AB ⇒ 3 1 = 3 50 h ∴ 3 1 = 50 3 h ∴ h= 3 50 =16.66m
∴ The height of the building is 16.66m.

Ex 9.1 , 9 The angle of elevation of the top of a building from the foot of the tower is 30 and the angle of elevation of the top of the tower from the foot of the building is 60 . If the tower is 50 m high, find the height of the building. Let building be AB & tower be CD Given Height of the tower = 50 m Hence, CD = 50m Angle of elevation of top of building from foot of tower = 30 Hence, ACB = 30 Angle of elevation of top of tower from foot of building = 60 Hence, DBC = 60 We need to find height of building i.e. AB Since building & tower are perpendicular to ground ABC = 90 & DCB = 90 Similarly, In a right angle triangle ABC, tan C = ( " " )/( " " ) tan 30 = (" " )/ (" " 1)/ 3 = (" " )/((" " 50)/ 3) (" " 1)/ 3 = AB 3/50 (" " 1)/ 3 50/ 3 = AB AB = (" " 1)/ 3 50/ 3 AB = (" " 50)/3 m Hence, height of building = (" " 50)/3 m
