AB is the hill. Point C and D are the positions of the stones on the ground such that CD = 1 km
In ΔABC 
AB/BC = tan 45°
AB/BC = 1
BC = AB ....(i)
In ΔABD 
AB/BD = tan 30°
AB/BD = 1/√3
BD = √3 AB ....(ii)
CD = 1 km
BD - BC = 1 km
√3 AB - AB = 1
(√3 - 1)AB = 1
AB = 1/(√3 - 1)
AB = (√3 + 1)/2 km
Hence, the height of the hill is (√3 + 1)/2 km
