Building Height
1. We are given a triangle with points T (top of building), P, Q, R on the ground.
2. Given data:
- \( \sqrt{2} = 1.41 \), \( \sqrt{3} = 1.73 \)
- \( \angle QRT = 30^\circ \)
- \( \angle TQP = 45^\circ \)
- Length \( QR = 60 \) meters
3. The goal is to find the height of the building (segment TP).
4. Step 1: Analyze triangle QRT with \( \angle QRT = 30^\circ \) and side \( QR = 60 \).
- Using triangle properties, length \( QT = QR \times \sqrt{3} = 60 \times 1.73 = 103.8 \) meters
5. Step 2: Analyze triangle TQP with \( \angle TQP = 45^\circ \).
- Since \( \angle TQP = 45^\circ \) and TP is vertical, triangle TQP is right-angled and isosceles
- So, \( TP = PQ \)
6. Step 3: Length PQ can be calculated from points Q and P along the base.
- Using the properties from previous triangle and angles, \( PQ = QT \times \sin 45^\circ = 103.8 \times 0.707 = 73.4 \) meters
7. Step 4: Therefore, height of building \( TP = PQ = 73.4 \) meters.
Answer: The building's height \( TP \) is approximately \( \boxed{73.4} \) meters.
