Q7 of 14 Page 1

A tower stands vertically in the ground. From a point on the ground which is 25 m away from the foot of the tower, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is found to be 45ᵒ. Then the height (in metres) of the tower is


Let AB be the Tower and C be the point on the ground


Given, point is 25 m away from the pole i.e. BC = 25m


Angle of elevation, ∠ACB = 45ᵒ


We Know,




⇒ AB = BC = 25 m


Hence, Height of tower is 25 m.


C is correct Option.
