The angle = 67<span>° and the pole is a right-angled triangle. Therefore the distance required to find (say "x) is the angle opposite the right-angle. The following equation needs to be solved:
cos 67 = 137 / x
Solving for x;
x = 350.62 ft</span>
Vertical or horizontal; it depends on what the function is.

Answer:
- x/45 = 9 m/30
- x = 13.5 . . . meters
Step-by-step explanation:
In similar triangles, corresponding sides are proportional. This lets us write an equation involving x. Sides adjacent are proportional to sides opposite the vertical angle.
x/45 = 9/30
__
Multiplying by 45 gives the solution:
x = 45(9/30) = 13.5 . . . meters
