The angle of depression from the top of a tower to a point on the ground is 30°. If the height of the tower is 20 m, find the distance from the tower to the point.
Q1. The angle of depression from the top of a tower to a point on the ground is 30°. If the height of the tower is 20 m, find the distance from the tower to the point.
Answer: 20√3 m
Explanation: Using tan(30°) = 20 / distance, we have 1/√3 = 20 / distance, so distance = 20√3 m.
