In the given figure, the angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a point C on the ground, which is 30 m away from the foot of the tower, is 30°. Find the height of the tower.

Use tan θ = opposite side / adjacent side
here,
tan θ = AB/30
AB = Height of the tower
tan 30° × 30= AB
AB = [1/√3] × 30
AB = 10√3 m
∴ Height of the tower is 10√3 m
