Math Problem Statement
giải bài này
Solution
This problem involves using trigonometry to find distances based on angles of elevation and given heights.
Given:
- The height of the house meters.
- The angle of elevation from point to point (the mountain peak) is .
- The angle of elevation from point to point is .
- The horizontal distance between and is denoted as , but the value of is not explicitly provided.
Let's denote:
- as the horizontal distance from point to the mountain's base, .
- and as the distances from points and to the mountain's peak, respectively.
Step-by-step solution:
1. Apply tangent trigonometry for :
In this right-angled triangle: Where:
- is the height of the mountain from point (the base of the house). Thus, We know that , so:
2. Apply tangent trigonometry for :
Now, for the observer at point : Since represents the horizontal distance from to the mountain's base.
Solving for :
We can now solve this system of equations by eliminating and finding .
