The angle of elevation of the top of a tower at a distance of 120 m form a point a on the ground is 45°. If the angle of elevation of the top of a flagstaff fixed at the top of the tower, at A is 60°, then find the height of the flagstaff. [Use √3 = 1.73]

Height of the flagstaff = CD
According to the figure,
tan 45° = ![]()
⇒ 1 = ![]()
⸫ CB = 120 m
tan 60° = ![]()
⇒ ![]()
⸫ BD = 120 × 1.73 = 207.6 m
⸫ Height of the flagstaff = CD = 207.6 – 120 = 87.6 m
