Solution

This problem involves using trigonometry to find distances based on angles of elevation and given heights.

Given:

  • The height of the house AB=70AB = 70 meters.
  • The angle of elevation from point AA to point CC (the mountain peak) is 3030^\circ.
  • The angle of elevation from point BB to point CC is 1515^\circ.
  • The horizontal distance between AA and BB is denoted as ABAB, but the value of ABAB is not explicitly provided.

Let's denote:

  • HH as the horizontal distance from point AA to the mountain's base, CC.
  • ACAC and BCBC as the distances from points AA and BB to the mountain's peak, respectively.

Step-by-step solution:

1. Apply tangent trigonometry for AHC\triangle AHC:

In this right-angled triangle: tan(30)=hCH\tan(30^\circ) = \frac{h_C}{H} Where:

  • hCh_C is the height of the mountain from point AA (the base of the house). Thus, H=hCtan(30)H = \frac{h_C}{\tan(30^\circ)} We know that tan(30)=13\tan(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}, so: H=hC3H = h_C \cdot \sqrt{3}

2. Apply tangent trigonometry for BHC\triangle BHC:

Now, for the observer at point BB: tan(15)=hCH70\tan(15^\circ) = \frac{h_C}{H - 70} Since H70H - 70 represents the horizontal distance from BB to the mountain's base.

Solving for hCh_C:

We can now solve this system of equations by eliminating HH and finding hCh_C.
