Answer:

The height of the tower is 141.74 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram.

Let the position of the tower os AB with A as the base and B is the top.

Now, angle of elevation of point B from point C is 50°, and the from point D is 40°, and hence, CD = 50 meters,

Now, from Δ ABC, \tan 50 = \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{x}{AC}

⇒ AC = \frac{x}{\tan 50} = 0.839x .......... (1)

Again, from Δ ABD,  \tan 40 = \frac{AB}{AD} = \frac{x}{AD}

⇒ AD = \frac{x}{\tan 40} =1.192x .......... (2)

Now, DC = AD - AC  

⇒ 50 = 1.192x - 0.839x

⇒ 50 = 0.353x

⇒ x = 141.74 meters.

Hence, the height of the tower is 141.74 meters. (Answer)

Find the height of a triangle that has an area of 30 square units and a base measuring 12 units.
Alexxx [7]
The equation for the area of a triangle is 1/2 x base x height. Plug in the values that you already have with h being the missing height value: 30= 1/2 x 12 x h Simplify: 30=6h Solve: 30/6=h 5=h The heoght of the triangle is 5 units
