Q1. A man is standing on the deck of a ship, which is 8 m above the water level. He observes the angle of elevation of the top of a hill as 60° and the angle of depression of the base of the hill as 30°. What is the height of the hill?
Answer: 32√3 m
Explanation: Using the tangent function, we can calculate the height of the hill above the water level and add the height of the ship to get the total height.
