From the top of the tower of 24 meter height, a man observes a child playing on the ground at an angle of depression of 30°. After sometimes, he observed that the angle of depression is 60°. Find the distance covered by kid.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

At 30°30°, horizontal distance =24tan⁡30°=243= \frac{24}{\tan 30°} = 24\sqrt{3} m.

At 60°60°, distance =24tan⁡60°=243=83= \frac{24}{\tan 60°} = \frac{24}{\sqrt{3}} = 8\sqrt{3} m.

Distance covered =243−83=163= 24\sqrt{3} - 8\sqrt{3} = 16\sqrt{3} m.
