The angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a point 20m away from its base is 60 ∘ . The height of the tower is-
Answer: 34.64 m
Explanation
We can solve this problem using trigonometry.
Let's denote:
- h as the height of the tower,
- d as the horizontal distance from the point to the base of the tower,
- θ as the angle of elevation (which is 60 degrees in this case).
In a right triangle formed by the tower, the horizontal distance, and the line of sight to the top of the tower, we have:
tan(θ)=
