Two towers A and B have lengths 45m and 15 m respectively. The angle of elevation from the bottom of the B tower to the top of the A tower is 60 degree. If the angle of elevation from the bottom of the A tower to the top of the B tower is straight theta, then the value of sin space straight theta is

  • fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of 2 end fraction
  • fraction numerator square root of 3 over denominator 2 end fraction
  • fraction numerator 2 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction
  • fraction numerator 2 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction

fraction numerator 2 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction




In increment ROP,   tan 60 degree space equals space 45 over RO space space rightwards double arrow space space space square root of 3 space equals space 45 over RO
                       RO space equals space fraction numerator 45 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction cross times fraction numerator square root of 3 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction space equals space 45 over 3 cross times square root of 3 space equals space 15 square root of 3 straight m
Now, in increment QOR,    tanθ space equals space fraction numerator 15 over denominator 15 square root of 3 end fraction space space space space rightwards double arrow space space space tanθ space equals space fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction
                              tanθ space equals space tan space 30 degree space space rightwards double arrow space space space space straight theta space equals space 30 degree
Then,     sin space 30 degree space equals space 1 half
