The angle of elevation of a tower from a point on the ground is 30°. At a point on the horizontal line passing through the foot of the tower and 100 m nearer to the tower, the angle of elevation is found to be 60°. Find the height of the tower.
Q1. The angle of elevation of a tower from a point on the ground is 30°. At a point on the horizontal line passing through the foot of the tower and 100 m nearer to the tower, the angle of elevation is found to be 60°. Find the height of the tower.
Answer: 86.6 m
Explanation: Using tangent for both angles, we get height = 86.6 m.
