Answer:

30.1 feet.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a school flag poll casts a 16 foot shadow on the lawn. A teacher stood at the shadows edge and measure the angle of elevation to the top of the poll at 62°. We are asked to find the height of the tall.

First of all, we will draw a diagram to represent our give scenario as shown in the attachment.

We can see that side length with 16 feet is adjacent side and height of the pole (h) is opposite side to angle of elevation.

We know that tangent relates opposite side of a right triangle to its adjacent side.

\text{tan}=\frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Adjacent}}

\text{tan}(62^{\circ})=\frac{h}{16}

h=16\cdot \text{tan}(62^{\circ})

h=16\cdot 1.880726465346

h=30.0916234\approx 30.1

Therefore, the poll is approximately 30.1 feet tall.

What does the constant term in the polynomial 4x2 + 9 represent?
shusha [124]

Answer:

The constant in the polynomial is 9. A constant number is a number that does not change during the equation. This equation is 4x² + 9. Since you are just adding 9 the number of 9 does not change. If you were multiplying 9 it would not be a constant anymore because it does not stay the same throughout the equation.

Hope This Helps :)
