  1. Question 1

    Q1. From the top of a 50 m tower, the angle of depression to a point on the ground is 30°. How far is the point from the tower's base?

    • A) 50√3 m
    • B) 50 / √3 m
    • C) 50 m
    • D) 25√3 m

    Answer: 50√3 m

    Explanation: Using tan(30°) = 50 / distance, we get distance = 50 / tan(30°) = 50√3 m.
