Answer:

17.32 meters

Explanation:

Let’s call the height of the tower H. The distance from the point to the base of the tower is 10 m. The angle of elevation from the point to the top of the tower is 60 degrees.

Using trigonometry, we can calculate that:

tan (60) = H / 10

H = 10 * tan (60)

H = 10 * √3

H = 17.32 m

Therefore, the height of the tower is 17.32 meters.

Let me know if I helped :)
