Aflag post 10 meters long is fixed on top of a tower. from a point on horizontal ground, the angles of elevation of the top and bottom of the flag post are 40 degrees and 33 degrees respectively. calculate:
a) the height of the tower
b) the shortest distance from the point on the ground to the top of the flag post

Tan33=x/y

y= x/Tan33

Tan40=(10+x)/y

y= (10+x)/Tan40

Therefore

x/Tan33 = (10+x)/Tan40

xTan40-xTan33 =10Tan33

x= 10Tan33/(Tan40-Tan33)

x=34.2m

Step-by-step explanation:

i think is 3 and 6. this took me 10 min to think.hope to and hope that my answer is brainliest.(follow me )

96 39 cause 135 -96=39 im smart (i used a calculater)
