A tower stands vertically on the ground. From a point on the ground, which is 15 m away from the foot to the tower, the angle to elevation to the top to the tower is found to be 60°. Find the height to the tower in meter.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

In the right triangle, tan⁡60°=h15\tan 60° = \frac{h}{15}.

Since tan⁡60°=3\tan 60° = \sqrt{3}, we get h=153h = 15\sqrt{3} metres.
