  1. Question 1

    Q1. The angles of elevation of the top of a tower from two points on the ground are 30° and 60°. If the distance between the two points is 20m, what is the height of the tower?

    • A) 10√3 m
    • B) 17.32 m
    • C) 20 m
    • D) 25 m

    Answer: 17.32 m

    Explanation: Using tan(30°) = h / (x + 20) and tan(60°) = h / x, we can solve for h.
