The angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a point on the ground which is 36m away from the foot of the tower is 30o. Calculate the height of the tower.
62.35m
20.78m
18.00m
10.39m
Explanation
\(Tan 30^{\circ} = \frac{H}{36} \Rightarrow H = 36 \times tan30^{\circ}\\
H = 36 \times 0.5774 = 20.79\)
