To find the height of x above the level of y, we can use trigonometry.
Let's assume that the height of y is h.
The opposite side of the triangle formed by the angle of elevation of x is also h.
Using the trigonometric function tangent, we can set up the equation:
tan(30°) = h / xy
tan(30°) = h / 40
We can solve for h by multiplying both sides of the equation by 40:
h = 40 * tan(30°)
Using a calculator, we find:
h ≈ 23.09 m
Therefore, x is approximately 23.09 meters above the level of y.
The angle of elevation of x and y is 30 degree.if(xy)=40m.how high is x above the level of y
