Let AB be the unfinished tower.Let P be the point of observation that is 120 m away from the base of tower.Now, BP = 120 mLet ∠APB = 45°Let h mts be the height by which the unfinished tower be raised such that its angle of elevation of the topfrom the same point becomes 60°.Let CA = h; Let ∠CPB = 60°.In ∆ABP,tan 45° = ABBP⇒1 = AB120⇒AB = 120 mNow, in ∆CBP, tan 60° = CBBP⇒3√ = h + 120120⇒h + 120 = 1203√⇒h = 1203√−120⇒h = 120(3√−1)⇒h = 120(1.732−1)⇒h = 120 × 0.732⇒h = 87.84 m

in ∆CBP, tan 60° = CBBP
⇒3√ = h + 120120
⇒h + 120 = 1203√
⇒h = 1203√−120
⇒h = 120(3√−1)
⇒h = 120(1.732−1)
⇒h = 120 × 0.732
⇒h = 87.84 m
