  1. At 129 metre away from the foot of a cliff on level of ground, the angle of elevation of the top of the cliff is 30°. The height of this cliff is :
    1. 50 √3 metre
    2. 45 √3 metre
    3. 43 √3 metre
    4. 47 √3 metre
Correct Option: C


AB = Height of cliff = h metre
BC = 129 metre
In ∆ABC,

tan θ =
AB
BC

⇒ tan 30° =
h
129

1
=
h
3129

⇒ h =
129
= 43√3 metre
