Q170•Long Answer•[34 Marks]

A vertical pole of height 10 meters is standing on a level ground. From a point on the ground, the angle of elevation to the top of the pole is 30 degrees. Calculate the distance of the point from the base of the pole. Additionally, if a second pole of height 20 meters is standing at the same point where the first pole is, find the angle of elevation from the ground to the top of the second pole. Show all calculations clearly and explain the trigonometric ratios used in your solution.
