  1. Question 1

    Q1. A tower stands on a level ground. From a point on the ground, the angle of elevation to the top is 60°. If tower height is 30m, find distance from point to tower base.

    • A) 10√3 m
    • B) 20√3 m
    • C) 30√3 m
    • D) 40√3 m

    Answer: 10√3 m

    Explanation: tan(60°) = 30 / distance, so distance = 30 / √3 = 10√3 m, using trigonometric ratio for right triangle.
