Answer :
Let the distance between the foot of the tower and the foot of the building be d.
height of the building = H
height of the tower = h = 50 m
Tan 30⁰ = 1/√3 = H/d
Tan 60⁰ = √3 = h/d
=> (1/√3)/(√3) = H / h
=> H = h/3 => 50 m / 3 = 16.667 meters
height of the building = H
height of the tower = h = 50 m
Tan 30⁰ = 1/√3 = H/d
Tan 60⁰ = √3 = h/d
=> (1/√3)/(√3) = H / h
=> H = h/3 => 50 m / 3 = 16.667 meters
Answer:
The angle of elevation of the top of a building from the foot of the tower is 30°.
The angle of elevation of the top of tower from the foot of the building is 60°.
Height of the tower is 50 m.
Let the height of the building be h.
Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]:\implies \sf tan \: \theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base} \\ \\ [/tex]
[tex]:\implies \sf tan \: 60^{\circ} = \dfrac{CD}{BD} \\ \\ [/tex]
[tex]:\implies \sf \sqrt{3} = \dfrac{50}{BD} \\ \\ [/tex]
[tex]:\implies \sf BD = \dfrac{50}{ \sqrt{3} } \: m\\ \\ [/tex]
