The height of a tower is 300 meters. When its top is seen from top of another tower, then the angle of elevation is 60°. The horizontal distance between the bases of the two towers is 120 metres. What is the height (in metres) of the small tower?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 92.15
In △AEC
tan60o = AE/120
AE = 120√3 = 207.85 m
Height of second tower, CD = 300 - 207.85 = 92.15 m
