Q. An observer 1.7m tall is 20sqrt(3)m away from a tower. The angle of elevation from the eye of observer to the top of the tower is 30 Find the height of the tower plz Answer me

21.7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The question above is a right angle triangle and we would be using the trigonometric function of tangent to solve for it.

tan θ = Opposite/ Adjacent

Opposite side = Height = unknown

Adjacent = 20sqrt(3) m

θ = Angle of Elevation = 30°

Hence, we have:

tan 30° = Opposite/ 20√3

Opposite = tan 30° × 20√3m

Opposite = 20m

Height of the tower = Height of the observer + Height (Opposite side)

Height = 20m

Height of the the observer as given in the question is = 1.7m

Height of the tower = 20m + 1.7m

= 21.7m

Therefore, the height of the tower = 21.7m

i would say c is the best answer, hope it's right!

good luck! =)
