To solve the problem, we will use trigonometric ratios and properties of triangles. Let's break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Set up the problem Let the height of the tower \( PQ \) be \( h \) meters, and the distance from point \( X \) to the base of the tower \( P \) be \( d \) meters. ### Step 2: Use the angle of elevation from point X From point \( X \), the angle of elevation to the top of the tower \( Q \) is \( 60^\circ \). According to the tangent function: \[ ...
