AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the height of the tower using the information given about the shadows at different angles of elevation of the sun. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - Let the height of the tower be \( h \) meters. - Let the length of the shadow when the sun's elevation is \( 60^\circ \) be \( x \) meters. - When the sun's elevation is \( 30^\circ \), the shadow is \( x + 50 \) meters. ...
