IIT JEE Answers › Trignometry questions › 400000

A vertical pole consists of two portions,the lower being 1/3rd of the whole.If the upper portion subtends an angle arctan(1/2) at a point in a horizontal plane through the foot of the plane and distance 40ft from it,then the height of the pole is ________

This sum is easy,but i couldn't understand its geometry !!!!!!!!

x/40 = tan[Î¸+arctan(1/2)]

x/120= tanÎ¸

Will you get answer if you solve these equations?

x/40 = tan[Î¸+arctan(1/2)]

x/40 = ( tan Î¸ + 1/2 )/ (1-1/2 tan Î¸)

x/120= tanÎ¸

Substitute tan Î¸ above!

x/40 = (x/120 + 1/2) / (1-1/2.x/120)

this is a quadratic in x... just solve it :)
