From a point on the ground, the angles of elevation of the bottom and top of a transmission tower fixed on the top of a 20 m high building are 45° and 60° respectively. Find the height of the tower.


Let BC be the 20 m high building and AB be the transmission tower and P be the point on the ground


BPC = 45°


APC = 60°




PC = 20 m





Answer: The height of transmission tower = 20(√3 – 1)m = 14.64 m
