A pole 6m high is fixed on the top of a tower. The angle of elevation of the top of the pole observed from a point P on the ground is and the angle of depression of the point P from the top of the tower is . Find the height of the tower and the distance of point P from the foot of the tower. (Use = 1.73)
(8.19)
Let BC be the pole and AB be the tower of height ‘h’ m.
Solving (i) & (ii) to get
and
Therefore, the height of tower is 8.19 m and the distance of point P from the foot of the tower is 8.19 m
