Answer

The angle of elevation of a tower from a distance of 100 m from its foot is 30°. The height of the tower is: Volume And Surface Area of solid RSA Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 10.

Let the height of tower (AB) be h meters.

Angle of elevation = 30°

tanθ=perpendicularbasetan30=h10013=h100h=1003 m.\Rightarrow \tan \theta = \dfrac{\text{perpendicular}}{\text{base}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \tan 30^{\circ} = \dfrac{h}{100} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{\sqrt3} = \dfrac{h}{100} \\[1em] \Rightarrow h = \dfrac{100}{\sqrt3} \text{ m}.

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
