  • Question
  • Consider a regular hexagon ABCDEF. Two towers are situated at B and C. The angle of elevation from A to the top of the tower at B is 30 deg, and the angle of elevation to the top of the tower at C is 45 deg. What is the ratio of the height of towers at B and C?


  • Options
  • A. 1:?3
  • B. 1:3
  • C. 1:2
  • D. 1:2?3

  • Correct Answer
  • 1:3 

    Explanation

    Let the side of regular hexagon be ?a?

    Let height of the tower 1 be h1 and tower 2 be h2

    Height of tower 1 = h1 = (distance between A and B)* (tan 30o)= a.1/?3

    Distance between A and C = 2*?3.a/2= ?3a

    Height of tower 2 = h2 = (distance between A and C)* (tan 45o) = ?3a.1 = ?3a

    Ratio of height of towers at B and C respectively =a/?3/?3a = 1/3.
