Question
A tower is 60 meters high. From a point on the ground,
the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is 30°. Find the distance of the point from the base of the tower.Solution
Using the tan function: tan(30°) = height / distance. √3/3 = 60 / distance. Distance = 60 × 3 / √3 = 60√3 meters. Correct answer: a
