Answer

In rectangle BCDE,

Opposite sides of rectangle are equal.

∴ BE = DC = 60 m

We know that,

tan θ = PerpendicularBase\dfrac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}

From figure,

In △ ABE,

⇒ tan 30° = ABBE\dfrac{AB}{BE}

13=AB60\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \dfrac{AB}{60}

⇒ AB = 603=203\dfrac{60}{\sqrt{3}} = 20\sqrt{3} m.

In △ EBC,

⇒ tan 45° = BCBE\dfrac{BC}{BE}

1=BC601 = \dfrac{BC}{60}

⇒ BC = 60 m.

From figure,

AC = AB + BC = (203+60)(20\sqrt{3} + 60) m.

Hence, Option 3 is the correct option.
