    Question

    From the top of a tower 60 meters high, the angle of

    depression of two points on the ground on opposite sides of the tower are 30┬░ and 60┬░. Find the distance between the two points.
    A 40тИЪ3 meters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 60тИЪ3 meters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 80тИЪ3 meters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 100тИЪ3 meters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the distances of the two points from the base of the tower be d1 and d2. From the first point: tan(30┬░) = 60/d1, so d1 = 60тИЪ3 meters. From the second point: tan(60┬░) = 60/d2, so d2 = 60/тИЪ3 = ┬а 20тИЪ3 meters. Distance between the points = d1 + d2 = 60тИЪ3┬а + 20тИЪ3┬а = 80тИЪ3 meters. Correct option: c) 80тИЪ3
