A pole stands vertically inside a triangular park ABCABC. Let the angle of elevation of the top of the pole from each corner of the park be π3\dfrac{\pi}{3}. If the radius of the circumcircle of δABC\delta ABC is 22, then the height of the pole is equal to :A pole stands vertically inside a triangular park ABC . Let the angle of elevation of the top of the pole from each

Options

  1. A233\dfrac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}
  2. B232\sqrt{3}
  3. C3\sqrt{3}
  4. D13\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}

Correct answer

B. 232\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step solution

A pole stands vertically inside a triangular park ABC . Let the angle of elevation of the top of the pole from each

Let PD=h,R=2PD = h, R = 2

As angle of elevation of top of pole from A,B,CA, B, C are equal So DD must be circumcentre of δABC\delta ABC

tan⁡(π3)=PDR=hR\tan \left(\dfrac{\pi}{3}\right) = \dfrac{PD}{R} = \dfrac{h}{R}

h=Rtan(π3)=23h = Rtan\left(\dfrac{\pi}{3}\right) = 2\sqrt{3}
