A person standing on the bank of a river observes that the angles elevation of the top of a tree standing on opposite bank is 60°. When he moves 30 m away from the bank, he finds the angle of elevation to be 30°. Find the height of the tree and width of the river. [Take
= 1732]

AB → Height of free (x m) (ray)
AC → Width of river (x m)
DC → 30 cm
