Example 1 A tower stands vertically on the ground. From a point on the ground, which is 15 m away from the foot of the tower, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is found to be 60Β°. Find the height of the tower. Let, the height of the tower be H meter. So, AB = H metre Distance of the point from the foot of the tower = 15m Hence, CB = 15m Angle of elevation = 60Β° ∠ACB = 60Β° Since tower is vertical to ground, So, ∠ ABC = 90Β° Now, tan C = (𝑆𝑖𝑑𝑒 π‘œπ‘π‘π‘œπ‘ π‘–π‘‘π‘’ π‘‘π‘œ π‘Žπ‘›π‘”π‘™π‘’" c " )/(𝑆𝑖𝑑𝑒 π‘Žπ‘‘π‘—π‘Žπ‘π‘’π‘›π‘‘ π‘‘π‘œ π‘Žπ‘›π‘”π‘™π‘’" " 𝐢) tan C = (" " 𝐴𝐡)/𝐢𝐡 tan 60Β° = 𝐴𝐡/𝐢𝐡 √3 = 𝐻/15 15√3 = H H = 15√3 Hence, height of the tower = H = 15√3 m
