Question : On the ground, there is a vertical tower with a flagpole on its top. At a point 9 metres away from the foot of the tower, the angles of elevation of the top and bottom of the flagpole are 60° and 30°, respectively. The height of the flagpole is:

Option 1: $5\sqrt{3}$ metres

Option 2: $6\sqrt{3}$ metres

Option 3: $6\sqrt{2}$ metres

Option 4: $6\sqrt{5}$ metres

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $6\sqrt{3}$ metres


Solution :
In the figure, the flagpole is AB, BC is the tower and CD is the base.
In $\triangle$ACD,
$⇒\tan 60°=\frac{\text{AC}}{\text{DC}}$
$⇒\sqrt{3}=\frac{\text{AC}}{9}$
$⇒\text{AC}=9\sqrt{3}$ metres
In $\triangle$BCD,
$⇒\tan 30°=\frac{\text{BC}}{\text{DC}}$
$⇒\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{\text{BC}}{9}$
$⇒\text{BC}=\frac{9}{\sqrt{3}} = 3\sqrt{3}$ metres
$⇒\text{AC = AB + BC}$
$⇒\text{AB = AC – BC}$
$⇒\text{AB} =
