The angle of elevation of the top of a tower height 50 m from a point 50√3 m from the foot of the tower on a horizontal plane?

Options:

30°

60°

45°

80°

Correct Answer:

30°

Explanation:

AB = height of tower

Θ is angle of elevation

tan Θ        AB      :       BC

                50      :       50 \(\sqrt {3}\)

                 1       :       \(\sqrt {3}\)  ⇒  Θ = 30°
