A person standing on the bank of ariver observes that the angle of elevationof the top of a tree standing on theopposite bank is 60° .When he moves 40maway from the bank he finds the angleof elevation to be 30°. Find theheight of the tree and the width ofthe river.​

\green{\underline \bold{<klux>GIVEN</klux>: }} \\  \tt:  \implies length \: DC = 40 \: m \\  \\  \tt: \implies First \: angle \: of \: elevation = 60 \degree \\  \\ \tt: \implies Second\: angle \: of \: elevation = 30 \degree \\  \\ \red{\underline \bold{To \: Find: }} \\  \tt:  \implies Height \: of \: tree = ? \\  \\ \tt:  \implies Width \: of \: river =?

ACCORDING to given QUESTION :

\bold{In \:right \: angled \:   \triangle \: ABD} \\  \tt:  \implies tan \: \theta =  \frac{p}{b}  \\  \\  \tt:  \implies tan \:30 \degree =  \frac{AB}{BD}  \\  \\ \tt:  \implies  \frac{1}{ \sqrt{3} }  =  \frac{AB}{40 + x}  \\  \\ \tt:  \implies 40 + x = AB \sqrt{3}  \\  \\ \tt:  \implies x = AB \sqrt{3}  - 40 -  -  -  -  - (1) \\  \\  \bold{In \: right \: angled \:   \triangle \: ABC} \\ \tt:  \implies tan \: \theta =  \frac{p}{b}  \\  \\ \tt:  \implies tan \: 60 \degree =  \frac{AB}{BC}  \\  \\ \tt:  \implies  \sqrt{3}  =  \frac{AB}{x}  \\  \\ \tt:  \implies x =  \frac{AB}{ \sqrt{3} }  -  -  -  -  - (2)

\text{From \: (1) \: and \: (2)} \\  \tt:  \implies  \frac{AB}{ \sqrt{3} }  = AB \sqrt{3}  - 40 \\  \\ \tt:  \implies AB= 3AB - 40 \sqrt{3}  \\  \\ \tt:  \implies 40 \sqrt{3}  = 2AB \\  \\ \tt:  \implies AB =  \frac{40 \sqrt{3} }{2}  \\  \\  \green{\tt:  \implies AB = 20 \sqrt{3} \: m } \\  \\  \text{Putting \: value \: of \: ab \: in \: (2)} \\ \tt:  \implies x =  \frac{20 \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{3} }  \\  \\  \green{\tt:  \implies x = 20 \: m} \\  \\    \green{\tt\therefore Height \: of \: tree \: is \: 20 \sqrt{3 }  \: m} \\  \\   \green{\tt\therefore Width \: of \: river \: is \: 20  \: m}
