You can solve this problem and calculate the height of the pole, by following the steps below:
Tan(α)=Opposite leg/Adjacent leg
α is the angle of elevation (α=<span>67°).
</span> The opposite leg is <span>the height of the pole. Let's call it "x".
</span> Adjacent leg=137 feet
When you substitute these values into the formula Tan(α)=Opposite leg/Adjacent leg, you have:
Tan(α)=Opposite leg/Adjacent leg
Tan(67°)=x/137
You must clear the "x"
x=137xTan(67°)
x=322.75
W<span>hat is the height of the pole?</span>
The answer is: The height of the pole is 322.75 feet.
Answer:
Hi how are you doing today Jasmine
<span>(-2,7)
(18,1)
Slope = difference in "y" / </span><span>difference in "x"
Slope = 7 - 1 / -2 -18
</span>
<span>Slope = -6 / -20
Answer is 2) -3 / 10
</span>
