The shadow of a vertical tower is 10 meters long when the angle of elevation of the sun is 60°. Find the height of the tower.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Shadow = 10 meters
Angle of elevation = 60°
tanθ = Height / Shadow
tan60° = Height / 10
⇒ √3 = Height / 10
⇒ Height = 10√3 meters = 17.32 meters
