Answer» Let the hieght of lighthouse be ydistance of boat initially = 150mdistance of boat from one point to another = xthus According to question tan 60 = y / 150thus y = 150 root 3 tan 45 = y / x+1501 = y / x + 150Thus y = x + 150 150 root 3 = x + 150x = 150 (root3 - 1) thus in 2 min speed will beu = x/t = 75 (root3 -1) |
