To solve the problem, we need to find the distance between two men standing on opposite sides of a tower, given the angles of elevation to the top of the tower and the height of the tower. Let's break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a tower of height \( AD = 150 \) m. Two men are standing at points \( B \) and \( C \) on opposite sides of the tower. The angle of elevation from point \( B \) to the top of the tower \( A \) is \( 60^\circ \), and the angle of elevation from point \( C \) to the top of the tower \( A \) is \( 30^\circ \). ### Step 2: Set Up the Triangles We will use right triangle trigonometry to find the distances \( BD \) and \( CD \): - In triangle \( ABD \) (where \( A \) is the top of the tower, \( B \) is the point on the ground near the tower, and \( D \) is the foot of the tower): ...
