The tree's height is 10 m and it is 30 m away from him. How tall (in m) is the mall?

Option 1: 475

Option 2: 300

Option 3: 425

Option 4: 525

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 475


Solution :
Let, the height of the mall (AB) = $x$ m
From the figure,
CD = 10 m
DM = 30 m
BM = 1425 m
Let $\angle AMB = \angle CMD = \theta$
From $\triangle AMB$
$\tan \theta=\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{base}}=\frac{AB}{BM}$
From $\triangle CMD$,
$\tan \theta=\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{base}}=\frac{CD}{DM}$
⇒$\frac{AB}{BM}=\frac{CD}{DM}$
