Answer:
Height of second tower = 17.32m
Step-by-step explanation:
I have attached a diagram depicting the question.
From the diagram, The first tower is depicted by side AEB and the second tower CD.
While d is the distance that separates the two towers and it's given as 15m.
Now, since the angle of depression of the second tower’s base is 60°, then for triangle BAC. Angle C = 60°.
Thus; using trigonometric ratios;
tan 60° = AB/AC.
This gives; AB = d*tan 60°
Similarly, for the triangle BED, BE = d*tan 30°
Since, AE = CD, thus ;
CD = AB − BE
CD = d (tan 60° − tan 30°)
CD = 15(1.7321 − 0.5774)
CD = 15 × 1.1547
CD ≈ 17.32 m.
So, height of second tower = 17.32 m
