Q37 of 68 Page 9

A 10 m high flagstaff stands on a tower. From a point on the level ground, the angles of elevation of the foot and top of the flagstaff are 30° and 60° respectively. Find the height of the tower.


From the ∆DBC,




Now, from the ∆ABC,


=




Put the value of BC from the equation(i) and AD = 10 that is given.


So,




Therefore, the height of the tower is 5 m.
