  1. Question 1

    Q1. The angle of elevation to the top of a hill from a point 50 m away is 30°. What is the hill's height?

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

    Answer: 50 * √3 / 3 m

    Explanation: Using tan(30°) = height / 50, we get height = 50 * tan(30°) = 50 * 1/√3 = 50√3 / 3 m.
