The angle of elevation of the top of the tower observed from each of the three points $A, B, C$ on the ground,forming a triangle,is the same angle $\alpha$. If $R$ is the circum-radius of the $\Delta ABC$,then the height of the tower is

  • A
    $R \sin \alpha$
  • B
    $R \cos \alpha$
  • C
    $R \cot \alpha$
  • D
    $R \tan \alpha$

The angles of elevation of the top of a tower $A$ from the top $B$ and bottom $D$ of a building of height $a$ are $30^\circ$ and $45^\circ$ respectively. If the tower and the building stand at the same level,then the height of the tower is

Let a vertical tower $AB$ of height $2h$ stand on a horizontal ground. From a point $P$ on the ground,a man can see up to height $h$ of the tower with an angle of elevation $2\alpha$.
