Also, let the distance between the tower (BD) and the cliff (AC) be d m.
Thus, in â–³ABC, tan x = $\displaystyle \dfrac{{20}}{d}$ ​……(i)
Also, in â–³CDE, tan x = $\displaystyle \dfrac{h}{d}$ ​………(ii)
From equations (i) and (ii) $\displaystyle \dfrac{h}{d}$​= $\displaystyle \dfrac{{20}}{d}$​ ⇒h = 20 m ⇒ Height of the tower is 20 + 20 = 40 m.
