Easy MCQ +4 / -1

From the top of a 60 m high building, the angle of depression of a point on the ground is 30°. The distance of the point from the base of the building is:

  1. A 60√3 m Correct answer
  2. B 60/√3 m
  3. C 30√3 m
  4. D 30 m

Solution

Angle of depression = angle of elevation from ground = 30°. tan 30° = 60/d → d = 60/tan 30° = 60/(1/√3) = 60√3 m.
