Answer» Let the height of the first floor of Qutub Minar be AB = EC = 25 m And DEC (DC) be the height of the tower. BC = AE = Distance between their bases ∠DAE be the angle of elevation of the top of the building. ∠EAC be the angle of depression of the base of the building. In triangle EAC, Tan ∠EAC = EC/AE => √3 = 25/AE => AE = 25/√3 meters In triangle ADE, Tan ∠DAE = DE/AE => 1/√3 = DE/25/√3 => 3DE = 25 => DE = 25/3 => DE = 8.33 approx Height of the building = DE + EC = 8.33 + 25 = 33.33 meters approx. Thus, the height of the building = 33.33 metres. |
