  1. Question 1

    Q1. The angle of elevation to the top of a flagpole from a point 15 m away is 45°. What is the flagpole's height?

    • A) 15 m
    • B) 15√2 m
    • C) 15 / √2 m
    • D) 30 m

    Answer: 15 m

    Explanation: Using tan(45°) = height / 15, we get height = 15 m since tan(45°) = 1.
