There are two lifts A and B in a mall and angle of elevation made by person in lift A to the person in lift B is 45°. When lift A moves 2 m upwards and lift B moves 1 m downwards, then angle of elevation changes to 30°, then find the horizontal distance between two lifts. (Take √3 = 1.7)

There are two lifts A and B in a mall and angle of elevation made by person in lift A to the person in lift B is 45°. When lift A moves 2 m upwards and lift B moves 1 m downwards, then angle of elevation changes to 30°, then find the horizontal distance between two lifts. (Take √3 = 1.7) Correct Answer 7.05 m

GIVEN:

Angle of elevation made by person in lift A to the person in lift B = 45°.

When lift A moves 2 m upwards and lift B moves 1 m downwards, then angle of elevation = 30°

CONCEPT:

Height and distance

FORMULA USED:

Tan θ = Perpendicular / Base

CALCULATION:

×

⇒ d = (9 + 3√3) / 2

⇒ d = 7.05 m
