    B 23.5 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 51.96 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3√3 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Formula Used: Height of the lighthouse = Distance from the base Γ— tan(angle of elevation) Calculation: tan(60Β°) = √3 β‰ˆ 1.732 β‡’ Height of the lighthouse = 30 Γ— 1.732 β‡’ Height of the lighthouse β‰ˆ 51.96 m The height of the lighthouse is approximately 51.96 m.
