A man standing on the ground observes the top of a tower at an angle of elevation of 60°. If the height of the tower is 50√3 m, find the distance of the man from the tower.
Q1. A man standing on the ground observes the top of a tower at an angle of elevation of 60°. If the height of the tower is 50√3 m, find the distance of the man from the tower.
Answer: 50 m
Explanation: tan(60°) = 50√3 / distance, so distance = 50√3 / tan(60°) = 50√3 / √3 = 50 m.
