To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the given information and apply trigonometric principles. ### Step 1: Understanding the Setup We have a vertical tower of height \( h \) and two points \( A \) and \( B \) on the ground. The angle of elevation from point \( A \) to the top of the tower (point \( P \)) is \( 45^\circ \). The angle of elevation from point \( B \) to the top of the tower is \( 60^\circ \), and point \( B \) is reached by moving a distance \( d \) at an angle of \( 30^\circ \) from the horizontal. ### Step 2: Finding Distance \( AO \) From point \( A \), we can use the tangent of the angle of elevation: \[ ...
