Given:

The angles of elevation = 30°

Temple of height = 40 m

Formula used:

tanθ = perpendicular / base

Calculation:

F1 Vinanti Defence 07.12..23 D4

In triangle ADC 

tan 30° = AC/DC

1/√ 3 = 40/DC 

⇒ DC = 40√ 3 

⇒ BC = DC = 40√ 3

⇒ DB = DC + CB

⇒ DB = 40√ 3 +  40√ 3 = 80√ 3 m

∴ Correct answer is 80√ 3 m.
