Question

a man 1.30 m tall is on a top of a building. he observed a car on the road at an angle of 60 degrees if the building is 30 m high,how far is the car from the building?​

Answer 1

Given :

A man 1.30 m tall is on a top of a building. He observed a car on the road at an angle of 60 degrees if the building is 30 m high.

To Find :

How far is the car from the building.

Solution :

Let, distance between car and the building is x m.

So,

$tan \ \theta = \dfrac{height\ of\ building + height\ of\ man}{distance \ between \ car \ and \ building}\\\\tan \ 60^o = \dfrac{30+1.3}{x}\\\\x = \dfrac{31.3}{1.73}\ m\\\\x = 18.09\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.
