Question

The angle of elevation of a car on a road to the top of a tower is 45°. If the distance between the car and the tower along the road is 22 ft, find the height of the tower.

Answer 1

Let the height of the tower be h.

Then,

`\tan 45^o=(h)/(22)`
`\Rightarrow h=22\tan 45^o=22*1=22ft`

Hence, the height of the tower is 22ft
