Question
Two Poles are 12 metres apart horizontally and the
height of one is double that of the other. If from the mid-point of the line joining their feet, an observer finds the angular elevations of their tops to be complementary. Then the height of the shorter post is:Solution
Let AB = taller pole CD = shorter pole = h OB = OD =( 12)/2 = 6m In āOCD, tanθ = h/6 ............................(i) In āAOB tanā” (90- θ) = 2h/6 = h/3 cotθ= h/3 .............................(ii) Multiplying (i) and (ii), we get tanθ × cotθ = h/6 × 4/3 1 = h²/18 h² = 18 h=3√2 m
