Two poles of equal heights are standing ...

Two poles of equal heights are standing opposite each other on either side of the road, which is 80m wide. From a point between them on the road, the angles of elevation of the top of the poles are `60^(@)` and `30^(@)`, respectively . Find the height of the poles and the distances of the point from the poles.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
hence height of the poles is 34.6 m and the distance of the point C from the poles is 60 m and 20 m .
