To solve the problem step-by-step, we will follow the geometric and trigonometric principles involved in the scenario described. ### Step 1: Understand the Setup We have a tower of height \( h \) from which a man observes a car moving towards the tower. The angles of depression to the car change from \( 30^\circ \) to \( 45^\circ \) in 12 minutes. ### Step 2: Define the Distances Let: - \( AB = h \) (height of the tower) ...
