From the bottom of a pole of height h, the angle of elevation of the top of a tower is `alpha`. The pole subtends an angle `beta` at the top of the tower. find the height of the tower.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

1)`tanalpha=4/x`
`90-(90-alpha+beta)`
`90-90+alpha-beta`
2)`tan(alpha-beta)=(4-h)/x`
`tan(apha-beta)=(H-h)/(H/tanalpha)`
`tan(alpha-beta)=(H-h)/Htanalpha`
`h/H=1-tan(alpha-beta)/tanalpha`
`h/H=(tanalpha-tan(alpha-beta))/tanalpha`
