  1. Question 1

    Q1. The angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a point 20 m away from its foot is 60°. What is the height of the tower?

    • A) 20√3 m
    • B) 20 / √3 m
    • C) 10√3 m
    • D) 10 / √3 m

    Answer: 20√3 m

    Explanation: Using tan(60°) = height / 20, we get height = 20 * tan(60°) = 20√3 m.
