Question:

The angle of elevation of the top of a tower height 100√3 m from a point 100 m from the foot of the tower on a horizontal plane is:

Options:

60°

30°

45°

75°

Correct Answer:

60°

Explanation:

AB = Tower = 100\(\sqrt {3}\) m

BC = 100 m

From figure, tanΘ = \(\frac{AB}{BC}\) = \(\frac{100\sqrt {3}}{100}\) = \(\sqrt {3}\)

⇒ Θ = 60°
