The angle of elevation of the top of a tower at a point on the ground 50m away from the foot of the tower is `45^0dot` Then the height of the tower (in metres) is

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Assume height of tower be ' h ' m.

`Rightarrow tan 45^{circ}=frac{Height}{Base}=frac{h}{30} `

`Rightarrow 1=frac{h}{30} `

`Rightarrow h=30 m`

Required answer is `30 m`.
