Answer to Problem 7WE
The height of H is larger than M by 63 cm.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The
Height of M is 180 cm.
The angle of elevation of sun for H is
Height of M is 90 cm.
Calculation:
M and H in sun are shown below:
Here, AB is the height of M and PQ is the height of H.
Take tan of angle
Take tan of angle
Thus, the height of H is larger than M by 63 cm.
