Q1. The angle of elevation to the top of a statue from a point 20 m away is 30°. What is the height of the statue?
Answer: 20/√3 m
Explanation: The tangent of 30° equals the ratio of the statue's height to the distance from the point. Since tan(30°) = 1/√3, rearranging gives the height as 20/√3 m, using the formula tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent.
