A radio antenna stands on top of a building 300 m tall. At a point on the ground, the angle of elevation of bottom of antenna is 45° and the top of antenna is 60°. What is the height of the antenna? - |
217 m 215 m 219.6 m 150 m |
219.6 m |
height of building = BC m , height of antenna = AB m In triangle BCD tan 45° = BCCD 1 = BCCD As , BC = 300 m . so , BD is also 300 m in triangle ACD tan 60° = ACCD √3 = ACCD √3 = AC , CD = 300 So , AC = 300√3 AB = AC - BC = 300√3 - 300 = 300(1.732 - 1) = 300 x 0.732 = 219.6 m |
