thanks

can anyone solve this question


The angle of elevation of the top of a tower is 38 from a point A due south of it. The angle of elevation of the top of the tower from another point B , due East  of the tower is 29.Find teh height of the tower if the distance AB is 50m

My drawing is attached and i got the asnwer  as 24.5 , while the right answer is 22.6

I also have another question .

When do we use 1/2.A.B.SIN C , and not 1/2 b x h

You generally use 0.5*b*h when its a right angle triangle.

The other one is used when you have the angle between two sides of a known length and the triangle ISNT right angled.

Your drawing confused me.'B' should be on the east of 'T' i.e TB should be perpendicular to TA

+
you can also use it in any triangle if you know the length of a side and the perpendicular of that side

Example below:

A truck has a capacity of 10,000 litres
Amodel of the truck is made using a scale of 1:50
Calculate the capacity of the model in millilitres

 200?

 200?
This implies that 50 litres will be represented by 1
Therefore 10,000 litres will be represented by 1/500 * 10,000 = 200

But 200.......it's in terms of litres.

So you need to convert in terms of millilitres ---> 200 * 103( Ilitre = 103 ml)
Hence answer is 200,000ml.
