Given,

The angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a point on ground which is 30 m away from the foot of the tower is 30°.

Formula:

tan θ = Perpendicular/Base

Calculation:

Short Trick:

Ratio of AB : BC = 1 : √3

√3 = 30

⇒ 1 unit = 30/√3

⇒ 1 unit = 10 √3

Detailed solution:

AB is a tower and BC = 30 m.

In ΔABC

tan 30° = AB/BC

⇒ 1/√3 = AB/30

⇒ AB = 30/√3

∴ AB = 10 √3 m
