Answer:
17 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
|\ angle = 60 degrees here of triangle
| \ <-- digitaly drawn triangle
|___\
cirlcle diameter is 60 meters, since pillar is at the center then the distance of the pillar to the edge of the circlular meadow is (60/2) 30 meters.
30 meters is opposite of the angle.
The height of the pillar is adjacent to the angle so use tangent to solve
Tan(60) = 30/x
Tan(60) = 1.7; make sure that calculator is in degrees and not in radians to not get an incorrect value
1.7 = 30/x --> 1.7x = 30
x = 30/1.7
x = 17.3205 meters
using 2 significant figures gives us 17 meters
