  1. Question 1

    Q1. The angles of elevation to the top of a building from two points on the ground are 30° and 60°. If the distance between these points is 100 m, what is the height of the building?

    • A) 50√3 m
    • B) 25√3 m
    • C) 100√3 m
    • D) 50 m

    Answer: 50√3 m

    Explanation: Using the tangent function for both angles and the distance between the points, we can form two equations to solve for the height of the building, utilizing the formula tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent.
