Question

Two persons are standing on the opposite sides of a tower. They observe the angles of elevation of the top of the tower to be 30^o and 38^o respectively. Find the distance between them, if the height of the tower is 50 m.

Answer 1

Let one person A be at a distance x and second person B be at a distance of y from the foot of the tower . Given that angle of elevation of A is 30^o

^{The angle of elevation of B is 38°}

So, distance between A and B is x + y = 150.6
