Question 1004204: At a local airport, a light that produces a powerful white-green beam is placed on the top of a 45-foot tower. IF the tower is at one end of the runway, find the angle of depression needed so that the light extends to the end of the 2200-foot runway. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! tan(angle) = 45/2200
=======================
Rotating beacons at airports are not for lighting the runway.
A 45' tower near the runway is a bad idea.
