Question

the angle of elevation of the top of an elevator pole to a man standing 10m from it is 60°. find the height of the pole

Answer 1

10√3m

Explanation:

Given :-

• Angle of elevation = 60°
• Distance between man and pole = 60°

We need to find the height of the pole . We are given here base. Therefore using ratio of tan ,

=> tan 60° = p/b

=> √3 = h / 10 m

=> h = 10 m× √3

=> h = 10√3 m
