  1. Question 1

    Q1. The angle of elevation of the top of a building from the top of another building is 30°. If the height of the first building is 20m and the distance between them is 10√3 m, what is the height of the second building?

    • A) 20 m
    • B) 25 m
    • C) 30 m
    • D) 35 m

    Answer: 30 m

    Explanation: tan(30°) = (h - 20) / 10√3. So, h - 20 = 10. Thus, h = 30 m.
