Two poles of equal height are standing opposite to each other on the either side of the roads, which is 80 m wide. From a point P between them on the road , the angle of elevation of the top of a pole is 60°and the angle of depression from the top of another pole at point P is 30°. Find the heights of the poles and distances of the point P from the poles.

Let us consider AC and BD as the two poles of the same height h m Given AB = 80 m Let AP = x m Hence, PB = (80 - x) m In △APC, tan 300 = AC/AP... View Article
