QUESTION :
Find the angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a point on the ground, which is 30 m
Find the angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a point on the ground, which is 30 maway from the foot of a tower of height 10
Find the angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a point on the ground, which is 30 maway from the foot of a tower of height 10
Find the angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a point on the ground, which is 30 maway from the foot of a tower of height 10 m.
SOLUTION :
This question can be easily solved by using Trigonometric Identities.
Here, the following information is given :
The height of the tower is 10√ 3m.
The base of the tower is 30 m.
Let the angle of elevation be X °
We know that :
Tan X = Perpendicular / Base
=> 10 √ 3 / 30
=> √ 3 / 3
=> √ 3 / 3 ÷ √ 3 / √ 3
=> 1 / √ 3
Tan X = 1 / √ 3
X = tan ^ -1 ( 1 / √ 3 )
=> X = 30 °
Hence the angle of elevation is 30°>>>>[ A ]
