The angles of the depression of the top ...

The angles of the depression of the top and bottom of the tower is seen from the top of a `60sqrt(3)` cliff are `45^alpha` and `60^alpha` respectively. Find the height of the tower.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let AD is the tower and BC is the cliff and E is the point on BC such that AD = BE
We have,
`BC = 60sqrt3, /_ CDE = 45^0 and /_BAC = 60^0 `
Let ` AD = h`
`:. AD = BE = h`
`:.CE = BC – BE = 60sqrt3 – h`
In` /_\CDE`
