From a point on the ground, the angle of elevation of the top of a tower is 30°. If the distance from the point to the base of the tower is 50 meters, find the height of the tower.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Angle of elevation = 30°
Distance of the point from the base of the tower = 50 meters
tan 30° = Height/50
tan 30° = 1/√3
1/√3 = Height/50
Height = 50/√3
Height = (50√3)/3 meters
