Question

A tower stands vertically on the ground from a point on the ground which is 15m away from the foot of the tower the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is found to be 60 degree. Find the height of the tower.
a)15√3m
b)5√2m
c)15m​

Answer 1

Answer:

= 115√3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Angle of elevation = 60 degree

distance from top of the tower to the point of a ground = 15m

tan 60degree=perpendicular/base

or, √3= height of tower /15 (tan 60degree=√3)

or, height of a tower= 15*√3

or, height of tower =15√3
