A man wishes to estimate the distance of a nearby tower from him. He stands at a point A in front of the tower C and spots a very distant object O in line with AC. He then walks perpendicualr to AC upto B, a distaance of 100m and looks at O and C again. Since O is very distant, the direction of BO is practically the same as AO, but he finds the line of sight of C shifted from the original line of sight by an angle `theta = 40^@ ( theta "is known as parallax").` Estimate the distance fo the tower C from his original position A.

A man wishes to estimate the distance of a nearby tower from him. He stands at a point A in front of the tower C and spots a very distant object O in line with AC. He then walks perpendicular to AC up to B, a distance of 100 m, and looks at O and C again. Since O is very distant , the direction BO is practically the same as AO, but he finds the line of sight of C shifted from the original line of sight by an angle theta = 40^(@) ( theta is known as 'Parallax') estimate the distance of the tower C from his original position A.

He then walks pependicular to AC up to B, a distance of 100 m and look at O and C again. Since O is very distant the direction BO is practivally the same as AO, but he finds the line of slight by of C shifted fro the original line of slight by an angle theta=30^(@) (theta is known as parallax) estimate the distance of the tower C from his original position A.
