Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are standing 200 m from a building. The angle of elevation to the top is 35 degrees. What is the height of the building from your eye level? If your eye level is 1.5 m, what is the total height?

💡 Hint: Make sure to add your eye level height to your initial calculation.

Question 2

If your theodolite at point A measures an angle of elevation of 25 degrees to a tower while at point B (50 m farther) measures 15 degrees, calculate the total height of the tower and consider the height difference between points A and B.

💡 Hint: Use tangent here to find the respective heights from each angle.
