In increment XOY
tan space 30 equals 20 over YO
YO equals 20 square root of 3 straight m
In increment XZO
tan space 60 equals 20 over ZO
ZO equals fraction numerator 20 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction straight m
YZ equals 20 square root of 3 plus fraction numerator 20 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction
equals fraction numerator 60 plus 20 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction
equals fraction numerator 80 square root of 3 over denominator 3 end fraction straight m
