The angle of elevation of the top of a tower 24√3 m high from two points on the level ground on its opposite sides are 45° and 30°. What is the distance (in m) between the two points
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
tan 45° 1 : 1
↓
24\(\sqrt { 3}\) ↓
24\(\sqrt { 3}\)
tan 30° 1 : \(\sqrt { 3}\)
↓
24\(\sqrt { 3}\) ↓
72
Total distance = (24\(\sqrt { 3}\) + 72) m
