A point on level ground is 63 m from the foot of a minaret. The angle of elevation of the top of the minaret from this point is 30°. Taking √3 = 1.732, what is the height of the minaret?
Correct answer A. 36.37 m
Explanation
In the right triangle, tan 30° = h / 63, so h = 63/√3 = 21√3 = 21 x 1.732 = 36.37 m.
