the foot of the tower, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is found to be 60°. Find the
height of the tower.
Que 15.
An electrician has to repair an electric fault on a pole of height 5 m. She needs to reach a point
1.3m below the top of the pole to undertake the repair work. What should be the length of the
ladder that she should use which, when inclined at an angle of 60° to the horizontal, would
enable her to reach the required position? Also, how far from the foot of the pole should she
place the foot of the ladder? (You may take
3 = 1.73)
