A tower stands at the center of a circular park. The angle of elevation of the top of the tower at a point on the circumference is 30°. If the radius is 100 m, find the height of the tower.
Q1. A tower stands at the center of a circular park. The angle of elevation of the top of the tower at a point on the circumference is 30°. If the radius is 100 m, find the height of the tower.
Answer: 100 / √3 m
Explanation: Using tan(30°) = height / radius, we get height = radius * tan(30°) = 100 * 1/√3 = 100 / √3 m.
