This problem is solely on right triangles, wherein the Pythagorean theorem may be applied. We must first find the angle of elevation of the flagpole using Tim's height and the difference between the shadow of the flagpole and Tim's distance from the flagpole. Therefore tan a = 1.65/(16.6-12.5) where a=21.68 degrees. We use this angle to determine the height of the flagpole. tan 21.68 = x/ 16.6 where x=height of flagpole=6.6 meters.

Find the value of x to the nearest tenth.<br>​
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Ok i hope this helps and if it does pls give me brainliest!

So the longest line is 8 and makes a 90 degree angle with another smaller line which is labled 3.6. X is longer than 3.6 ( only by a little bit) But it looks like its half of the longest line (8). So i think the answer would be X equals 4. But i was thinking about it more i relized that you would prob just divide 8 by 3.6 which would be 2.22222 .... And that rounded tot he nearest 10th would be 2.2.
