To solve the problem step by step, we will use trigonometric ratios and the information provided in the question. ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a point P on the ground from which the angles of elevation to the top of a tower and the top of a flagstaff on the tower are given. The angle of elevation to the top of the tower is \(30^\circ\) and to the top of the flagstaff is \(60^\circ\). The height of the flagstaff is \(5\) meters. ### Step 2: Define Variables Let: - \(h\) = height of the tower (in meters) ...
