  1. Question 1

    Q1. A building is 100 m high. The angle of elevation of the top of the building from a point on the ground is 45°. How far is the point from the foot of the building?

    • A) 100 m
    • B) 50 m
    • C) 100√2 m
    • D) 50√2 m

    Answer: 100 m

    Explanation: Using tan(45°) = 100 / distance, we get distance = 100 m since tan(45°) = 1.
