On the level ground,the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is $30^{\circ}$. On moving $20 \ m$ nearer,the angle of elevation is $60^{\circ}$. The height of the tower is (in $m$):

The height of a tower is $100 \text{ m}$. When the angle of elevation of the sun changes from $30^{\circ}$ to $45^{\circ}$,the shadow of the tower becomes $x \text{ m}$ smaller. The value of $x$ is (in $\text{m}$):

From a point $P$ on a level ground,the angle of elevation of the top of a tower is $30^{\circ}$. If the tower is $100 \ m$ high,the distance (in $m$) of point $P$ from the foot of the tower is:

The distance between two pillars is $120 \text{ m}$. The height of one pillar is thrice the other. The angles of elevation of their tops from the midpoint of the line connecting their feet are complementary to each other. The height (in $\text{m}$) of the taller pillar is (Use: $\sqrt{3} = 1.732$)
