      Question

      From a point "A" on the ground, the angle of elevation

      to the top of a tower measuring 12 meters in height is 30°. Determine the horizontal distance between point "A" and the base of the tower.
      A 12 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 4√3 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 8 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 12√3 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Image
      Let BC = length of the tower = 12 metres
      In right triangle ABC;

      tan30 o  = (BC/AB)

      So, (1/√3) = (12/AB)

      So, AB = 12√3 m
