The feet of two vertical poles of heights 3m and 7m are in line with a point P on the ground the smaller pole being between the taller pole and at a distance 20m from P.The angle of elevation of the top . T of the taller pole from the top R of the smaller pole is 30°.(i) calculate distance RT (ii) distance of the foot of the taller pole from P.

Question

scott · Accepted Answer
