\\\tan\:15=\left ( \frac{5}{n} \right )\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:n=height\\\\\:2-\sqrt{3}=\frac{5}{n}

\\n=\frac{5}{2-\sqrt3}\times\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2+\sqrt{3}}=\frac{5(2+\sqrt{3})}{(1)}\\\\\:n=5\left ( 2+\sqrt{3} \right )


Option 1)

5(2+\sqrt{3})

Option 2)

5(\sqrt{3}+1)

Option 3)

\frac{5}{2}(2+\sqrt{3})

Option 4)

10(\sqrt{3}-1)
