PQ is a vertical tower having P as the foot. A,B,C are three points in the horizontal plane through P. The angles of elevation of Q from A,B,C are equal and each is equal to `theta` . The sides of the triangle ABC are a,b,c, and area of the triangle ABC is `` . Then prove that the height of the tower is (abc) `tantheta/(4)dot`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to prove that the height of the tower \( PQ \) is given by the formula: \[ h = \frac{abc \cdot \tan \theta}{4 \Delta} \] where \( a, b, c \) are the sides of triangle \( ABC \) and \( \Delta \) is the area of triangle \( ABC \). ...
