To find the height of the tower using the given information, we can use trigonometric ratios. Here's the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the problem We have a right triangle formed by the height of the tower, the distance from the point on the ground to the foot of the tower, and the line of sight from the point to the top of the tower. The distance from the point to the foot of the tower is the base of the triangle, and the height of the tower is the vertical side. ### Step 2: Identify the known values - Distance from the point to the foot of the tower (base) = 50 m - Angle of elevation (θ) = 30° ...
