Multiple choice

Two men are on opposite sides a tower. They measure the angles of elevation of the top of the tower as 30° and 45° respectively. If the height of the tower is 50m, the distance between two men is:

  1. 136.6m

  2. 50√3

  3. 100√3

  4. 135.5

A Correct answer
Explanation

For 30° angle: distance = 50/tan(30°) = 50√3 ≈ 86.6m. For 45° angle: distance = 50/tan(45°) = 50m. Total distance between men = 86.6 + 50 = 136.6m. Option A is correct.
