  1. Question 1

    Q1. The angles of elevation of the top of a tower from the top and foot of a 10 m pole are 30° and 60° respectively. What is the height of the tower?

    • A) 15 m
    • B) 15√3 m
    • C) 20 m
    • D) 20√3 m

    Answer: 15 m

    Explanation: First, we find the distance of the point from the tower using the tangent of 60°. Then, we use the tangent of 30° to find the height of the tower above the top of the pole.
