Option 4 : 70\(\sqrt{3}\)
Given:
Distance of the point from the foot of the tower = 70 m
Angle of elevation = 60°
Formula used:
tan θ = Perpendicular/Base
Calculation:

Let the height of the tower be h.
In ΔABC,
tanθ = BC/AB
⇒ tanθ = h/70
⇒ tan60° = h/70
⇒ √3 = h/70
⇒ h = 70√3
∴ The height of the tower is 70√3 m.
