Question

. If the angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a point of observation

at a distance of 100 m from its base is 45°, then the height of the tower is

Answer 1

Explanation:

Distance between top of the tower and point of observation = 100 meters
Angle of Elevation = 45 degrees

Let's draw a right angle triangle with the following specifications.

tan(45 degrees) = x/100

tan(45 degrees) = 1

100(1) = x

x = 100 meters

The height of the tower is 100 meters.
