The correct Answer is:
To find the height of the tower in the triangular park PQR, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Geometry of the Problem We have a triangle PQR where PQ = PR = 200 m. The tower T is located at the midpoint M of QR. The angles of elevation from points P, Q, and R to the top of the tower T are given as 45°, 30°, and 30°, respectively. ### Step 2: Set Up the Coordinates Let's place the triangle in a coordinate system: - Let point P be at (0, 0). - Let point Q be at (200, 0). - Since PQ = PR, point R will be at (100, h) where h is the height we need to find. The midpoint M of QR can be calculated as: - M = ((200 + 100)/2, (0 + h)/2) = (150, h/2). ### Step 3: Use the Angle of Elevation from Point P From point P, the angle of elevation to the top of the tower T is 45°. Using the tangent function: \[ \tan(45°) = \frac{h}{PM} \] Since \(\tan(45°) = 1\), we have: \[ h = PM \] Now, we need to find PM: \[ PM = \sqrt{(150 - 0)^2 + \left(\frac{h}{2} - 0\right)^2} = \sqrt{150^2 + \left(\frac{h}{2}\right)^2} \] ### Step 4: Use the Angle of Elevation from Point Q From point Q, the angle of elevation to the top of the tower T is 30°. Using the tangent function: \[ \tan(30°) = \frac{h}{QM} \] Since \(\tan(30°) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\), we have: \[ \frac{h}{QM} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \implies h = \frac{QM}{\sqrt{3}} \] Now, we need to find QM: \[ QM = \sqrt{(150 - 200)^2 + \left(\frac{h}{2} - 0\right)^2} = \sqrt{(-50)^2 + \left(\frac{h}{2}\right)^2} \] ### Step 5: Set Up the Equations Now we have two equations: 1. From point P: \(h = \sqrt{150^2 + \left(\frac{h}{2}\right)^2}\) 2. From point Q: \(h = \frac{\sqrt{2500 + \left(\frac{h}{2}\right)^2}}{\sqrt{3}}\) ### Step 6: Solve the Equations From the first equation: \[ h^2 = 150^2 + \left(\frac{h}{2}\right)^2 \] Expanding gives: \[ h^2 = 22500 + \frac{h^2}{4} \] Multiplying through by 4 to eliminate the fraction: \[ 4h^2 = 90000 + h^2 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 3h^2 = 90000 \implies h^2 = 30000 \implies h = \sqrt{30000} \implies h = 100\sqrt{3} \] ### Step 7: Find the Height of the Tower The height of the tower T is: \[ h = 100 \text{ m} \] ### Final Answer The height of the tower is **100 m**.
