Answer :
In the fig. AB is the height of hill AB = AE+EB
= h+10
In ∆AEB
tan 60° =
√3 =
h = √3 DE ------- (1)
In ∆DEB
tan 30° =

DE = 10√3 ------(2)
the distance of the hill from the ship = DE
= 10√3 m
From eqn. (1) and eqn. (2) we get,
h = √3× 10√3
= 10(3) m
= 30 m
Height of hill = 30 + 10
= 40 m
Therefore the distance between ship and hill is 10√3 m and the height of the hill is 40 m.
