Question Image

Consider AC represents the hill and DE represents the pole

Given that AC=100m

XAD=ADB=30°(AX||BD)

XAE=AEC=60°(AX||CE)

Let DE=h

then BC=DE=h

AB=100h(AC=100,BC=h)

BD=CE

In  ΔACE

tan60°=ACCE

3=100CE

CE=1003(1)

In ΔABDtan30°=ABBD

13=100hBD

13=100h1003(CE=BD)

100h=13×1003

100h=1003

h=10033.33

h=66.67m
