The wire, the pole and the segment joining the leg of the pole to the wire in the ground form a right triangle whose hypotenuse is the wire, and the side opposite to the angle 36° is the pole.

By right triangle trigonometry, sin36°=(opposite side)/(hypotenuse.)

Substituting, we have 0.588=(opposite side)/220, thus the length of the opposite side, which represents the length of the pole, is 

                                       0.588*220 ft=129.3 ft

Nina [5.8K]
Mr. Johnson was 46 years old two years ago, so currently Mr. Johnson is:
46 years old+ 2 years (old)= 48 years old.

Mr. Johnson is currently four times as old as his son David, so now David is:
48 years old* (1/4)= 12 years old.

David is 12 years old now.

Hope this helps~

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the size of image and actual object, we need to know the magnification factor. In this case, the man is 6ft but his image is 4.5 inches. Similarly, the statue's height is not given but in the imave it is 6 inches. If 6 ft translates to 4.5 inches then we want to know what translated to 6 inches. We apply the cross multiplication.

6 ft= 4.5inch

X ft=6 inch

X=6 ft* 6 inch/4.5 inch=8 ft

Therefore, the statue is actually 8 ft tall.
