Q19 of 28 Page 93

From the top of a 7m high building the angle of elevation of the top of a tower is 60° and the angle of depression of its foot is 45°. Find the height of the tower.


Let Height of the building is AD, Height of the tower is BC.


Given, ∠CDE = 60o, ∠EDB = 45o. AD = 7.


in BDA,


∠DBA = 45o



AB = AD


AB = 7


in CDE,


∠EDC = 60o




EC = 7√3


Height of the tower =
