Answer :
Let’s take PQ = 60√3 be the cliff and
CD be the tower
In right ∆PQR,
Tan 60° = PQ/QR
√3 = 60√3/QR
√3 QR = 60√3
QR = 60√3/√3 = 60 m
In right ∆PTS
Tan 45° = PT/ST
1 = PT/60
PT = 60 m
Therefore;
Height of the tower,
RS = QT
= PQ – PT
= 60√3 – 60 = 60(√3 – 1)
= 60(1.73 – 1)
= 60(0.73)
= 43.8 m
