Two persons A and B are 40 m apart. Triangulation method was used to measure the distance obtained is place C and the person A. The triangle obtained is as shown. The triangle is drawn from the positions of A and B and the vertices P, Q and R correspond to the position of A, B and the palce C, respectively. Determine the distance between the person A and the place C.

Text Solution

Distance between A and B=40m

`5x=40 rArr x=(40)/(5)=8 m`
The distance between the person A and the place `C=6 xx8=48m`
