The angle of elevation of a tower from a distance 100 m from its foot is 30°. Height of the tower is:

Answer»

\textbf{\underline{\underline{According\:to\:the\:Question}}}

ANGLE from its foot = 30

Distance = 100 m

Now

HEIGHT of tower

Assumption

Height = h

Using trigonometric ratios :-

\tt{\rightarrow tan\theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}}

Substituting the values

\tt{\rightarrow tan30=\dfrac{h}{100}}

\tt{\rightarrow\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\dfrac{h}{100}}

\tt{\rightarrow h=\dfrac{100}{\sqrt{3}}}

Here,

We have to rationalize :-

\tt{\rightarrow 100\times\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{3}}

\tt{\rightarrow 100\times\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{3}}

Hence,

Height of tower :-

\tt{\rightarrow 100\times\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{3}m}

\tt{\rightarrow\dfrac{100\times 1.73}{3}}

\tt{\rightarrow\dfrac{173}{3}}

= 57.6 METRES
