  1. Question 1

    Q1. The angles of elevation of the top of a tower from two points at distances a and b from the base are complementary. Find the height of the tower.

    • A) √ab
    • B) √(a/b)
    • C) √(b/a)
    • D) ab

    Answer: √ab

    Explanation: Using tan(θ) and cot(θ) for the complementary angles, we derive height = √ab.
