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?
Option 1: $84 \sqrt{3}$
Option 2: $36\sqrt{3}$
Option 3: $44\sqrt{3}$
Option 4: $60\sqrt{3}$

Correct Answer: $84 \sqrt{3}$
Solution : Here, AB = $24\sqrt3$ feet = PQ Distance, AP = 60 feet Here, AP = BQ = 60 feet In $\triangle$BQR, $\tan 60° = \frac{RQ}{BQ}$ ⇒ $\sqrt3=\frac{RQ}{60}$ $\therefore RQ = 60\sqrt3$ Height of the tower = RP = RQ + PQ = $60\sqrt3+24\sqrt3=84\sqrt3$ feet Hence, the correct answer is $84\sqrt3$ feet.

Question : From the top of an upright pole 17.75 m high, the angle of elevation of the top of an upright tower was 60°. If the tower was 57.75 m tall, how far away (in m) from the foot of the pole was the foot of the tower?
Option 1: $40 \sqrt{3}$
Option 2: $\frac{151 \sqrt{3}}{6}$
Option 3: $\frac{77}{4} \sqrt{3}$
Option 4: $\frac{40 \sqrt{3}}{3}$

Option 2: $\frac{60}{{\sqrt3}}$ m
Option 3: $\frac{50}{{\sqrt3}}$ m
Option 4: $\frac{130}{{\sqrt7}}$ m
Question : The angle of elevation of the top of a tower from the top of a building whose height is 680 m is $45^{\circ}$ and the angle of elevation of the top of the same tower from the foot of the same building is $60^{\circ}$. What is the height (in m) of the tower?
Option 1: $340(3 + \sqrt3)$
Option 2: $310(3 - \sqrt3)$
Option 3: $310(3 + \sqrt3)$
Option 4: $340(3 - \sqrt3)$
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 tower?
Option 1: $90$
Option 2: $45\sqrt{3}$
Option 3: $45(\sqrt{3}+1)$
Option 4: $45(\sqrt{3}+2)$
Question : A 1.6 m tall observer is 45 metres away from a tower. The angle of elevation from his eye to the top of the tower is 30°, then the height of the tower in metres is: (Take$\sqrt{3}=1.732$)
Option 1: 25.98
Option 2: 26.58
Option 3: 27.58
Option 4: 27.98
