The height of the window = x + 2 = 4.23 + 2= 6.23m

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of elevation of the top of the house and the window is 60 and 45 degree.

We can proceed as drawing a diagram as a man of height 2m and a building of total height 12m.

draw a horizontal line along the height of a man so that it touches building at height 2mtill the window height we assume its height as 'x' from the man's height.distance till the top from the window will be 'y'

we don't know the distance between man and the building let it be 'b'

\frac{x}{b}=tan 45 =1

x=b .............(1)

total height of the building is given as 12m

  x + y + 2=12

x + y = 10 .....................(2)

\frac{x+y}{b} =\frac{x+y}{x }  = tan 60

\frac{10}{x} = \sqrt{3}

x = \frac{10}{\sqrt{3} }  ≈ 5.77m

y = 10 -   \frac{10}{\sqrt{3} }

y= 10(1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } ) ≈ 4.23m

The height of the window = x + 2 = 4.23 + 2= 6.23m

10% of 3,000 is 300. (10% = 10/100 = 1/10, 3,000 ÷ 10 = 300)
3,000 minus 300 is 2,700.
