∴ ∠BP A = ∠C P A = 90

– –
x = √3 l = 40√3 = 69.28
Here AB is the pole of height x metres and BC is one side of the square field of length l metres.
In △ABC,
tan 60o = x
l
–
=
x
√3
l
–
x = √3 l ...(i)
Now, in △ABD,
tan 30o = x
80+l
√3l
= (From eq(i))
√3 80+l
80 + l = 3l
2l = 80
Here AB is the pole of height x metres and BC is one side of the square field of length l metres.
In △ABC
cos 60o =
CB
AC
CB
⇒ AC =
0
cos 60
⇒ AC =
40
⇒ AC = 80 m
OR
Here AB is the pole of height x metres and BC is one side of the square field of length l metres.
In △ABC
cos 30o = DB
AD
⇒ AD =

cos 30
120 240
⇒ AD = =

⇒ AC = 138.56 m
