Correct Answer: 60°
Solution : It is given that the respective ratio between the height of the tower and the point at some distance from its foot is $5\sqrt{3}:5$. So, AB : BC = $5\sqrt{3}:5$ In ΔABC, $\frac{AB}{BC}=\tan\theta$ ⇒ $\frac{5\sqrt{3}}{5}=\tan\theta$ ⇒ $\tan\theta=\sqrt{3}$ $\therefore \theta=60°$ Hence, the correct answer is 60°.

Question : A tower is broken at a point P above the ground. The top of the tower makes an angle of $60^\circ$ with the ground at Q. From another point R on the opposite side Q angle of elevation of point P is $30^\circ$. If QR = 180 m, what is the total height (in meters) of the
Question : From the top of a 20 metres high building, the angle of elevation from the top of a tower is 60° and the angle of depression of its foot is at 45°, then the height of the tower is: $(\sqrt{3} = 1.732)$
Question : On the ground, there is a vertical tower with a flagpole on its top. At a point 9 metres away from the foot of the tower, the angles of elevation of the top and bottom of the flagpole are 60° and 30°, respectively. The height of the flagpole is:
Question : From point P on the level ground, the angle of elevation to the top of the tower is 30°. If the tower is 100 metres high, the distance of point P from the foot of the tower is: (Take $\sqrt{3}$ = 1.73)
Question : From the top of an upright pole $24 \sqrt{3}$ feet high, the angle of elevation of the top of an upright tower was $60^{\circ}$. If the foot of the pole was 60 feet away from the foot of the tower, how tall (in feet) was the tower?
