From the top of a 15 m building, the angle of elevation of the top of a taller tower is 45° and the bases are 15 m apart on the same level. The height of the tower (in m) is:

Question

Accepted Answer

30. From the top, horizontal distance = 15 m, tan 45 = extra\ height/15 => extra = 15 m above the 15 m level, so tower = 15 + 15 = 30 m.

From the top of a 15 m building, the angle of elevation of the top of a taller tower is 45° and the bases are 15 m apart on the same level. The height of the tower (in m) is:
