Solution:
Consider CB = x and DB = y
AB = 300 m
In right triangle ACD
tan θ = AB/CB
Substituting the values
tan 450 = 300/x
1 = 300/x
So we get
x = 300 m
In right triangle ADB
tan θ = AB/DB
Substituting the values
tan 600 = 300/y
√3 = 300/y
By further calculation
y = 300/√3
Multiply and divide by √3
y = 300/√3 × √3/√3 = 300√3/3
So we get
y = 100 × 1.732 = 173.2 m
Here
CD = x – y = 300 – 173.2 = 126.8 = 127 m
Hence, the distance between two objects is 127 m.
