Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Height of building = 1000 m
Angle of elevation = 30°
Formula used:
Tan θ = perpendicular/Base = P/B
Tan 30° = 1/√3
Value of √3 = 1.732
Calculation:
Tan 30° = AB/BC
⇒ 1/√3 = 1000/BC
⇒ BC = 1000√3
⇒ BC = 1000 × 1.732 = 1732 m
∴ The correct answer is 1732 m.
