to the bank of a nearby river. Akshat was very happy to see the pollution-free village environment. He
was standing on the bank of the river observed that the angle of elevation of the top of a tree standing
on the opposite bank was 60∘. When he moved 30 metres away from the bank, he found the angle of
elevation to be 30∘.

results in injuries to his horses, so he decided to build fence around the area so that each horse can
graze. (Image below)
