Verified answer
Answer:
the height of building is 17.3m
The height of building=[tex]10\sqrt 3[/tex]m
Step-by-step explanation:
In triangle ABC
[tex]\theta=45^{\circ}[/tex]
AB=30 m
[tex]tan\theta=\frac{perpendicular\;side}{Base}[/tex]
Using the formula
[tex]tan45=\frac{AB}{BC}=\frac{30}{BC}[/tex]
[tex]1=\frac{30}{BC}[/tex]
Using [tex]tan45^{\circ}=1[/tex]
[tex]BC=30 m[/tex]
In triangle DBC
[tex]tan30=\frac{DC}{BC}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt 3}=\frac{DC}{30}[/tex]
[tex]DC=\frac{30}{\sqrt 3}\times \frac{\sqrt 3}{\sqrt3 }=10\sqrt 3m[/tex]
Hence, the height of building=[tex]10\sqrt 3[/tex]m
