To solve the problem, we need to find the distance between two objects observed from the top of a tower of height \( h \) meters, where the angles of depression to the objects are \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \) (with \( \beta > \alpha \)). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Angles of Depression**: - The angle of depression is the angle formed by the horizontal line from the observer's eye (top of the tower) to the line of sight to the object. - Let the two objects be A and B. The angle of depression to object A is \( \alpha \) and to object B is \( \beta \). ...
