On the same side of a building, two objects are located. The angle of depression from the top of the building is 45 and 60 degree. If the height of the building is 250 m, what is the distance between the two objects?

On the same side of a building, two objects are located. The angle of depression from the top of the building is 45 and 60 degree. If the height of the building is 250 m, what is the distance between the two objects? Correct Answer 250(1 – 1 / √3) m

Given, Angle of depression for object 1 = 45 – degree, object 2 = 60 – degree, height of the building = 250 m. Let the base distance of object 1 = x m, object 2 = y m. Object 1 ➩ tan 45 = height / base distance ➩ 1 = 250 / x ➩ x = 250 m Object 2 ➩ tan 60 = height / base distance ➩ √3 = 250 / y ➩ y = 250 / √3 The distance between the two objects = x – y = 250 – 250 / √3 = 250 (1 – 1 / √3) m
