The angle of elevation of x and y is 30 degree.if(xy)=40m.how high is x above the level of y

Answer 1

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.
