Q13 of 47 Page 1

The angle of elevation of the top the tower from the foot of the building is 45 �. If the tower is 30 m high, and the angle of elevation of top of building from the foot of the tower is 30°. Find the height of the building.


Let height of building be x and the distance between tower and building be y.


In Δ ABC,


(tan θ = Height/Base)



BC = 30 m


In Δ BCD,


(tan θ = Height/Base)



The height of the building is 10√3m.
