- A158 m
- B100.6 m
- C136.5 m
- D200.75 m
Assume the distance between the tower and the two cars is x+y.'
[adjacent side = car-to-tower distance] [opposite side = tower height]
tan = opposite side/adjacent side
AC/BC = cos 60° = 1/2
= 2 x AC
= (2 x 3.45) m
= 6.9 m.
The height of the object is on the opposite side. It is commonly calculated using Pythagoras' theorem
(hypotenuse)²= (opposite side)² + (adjacent side)²
It's an angle formed with the horizontal line if the line of sight is downward from the horizontal line.
Output: Option A is correct.
Output: Height of the object could be found by using trigonometric formula like sinθ = height of the object/distance of the object.
Output: Since, we know that tan45° = 1 , then the angle of elevation is 45°.
