At a point P on the ground, the angles of elevation of the top of a 10 m tall building, and of a helicopter covering some distance over the top of the building, are 30° and 60° respectively. Find the height of the helicopter above the ground.

From the ∆PBC,
![]()
![]()
From the ∆APB,

![]()
So, the height of the helicopter above the ground = x+10 = 20+10 = 30
Therefore, the height of the helicopter is 30 m.
