Answer:
:)
Step-by-step explanation:
For simplicity I will substitue for β.
In the first step I used the identity
And I factored out
Then it's just simple algebra to cancel till the 3rd step where we used another identity derived from the Pythagorean Theorem.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
AC = length of flagpole = 12 ft
AB = length of shadow = 14 ft
BC = length from the top of the flagpole to the end of the shadow = x ft
Use Pythagorean theorem to find the length of x,
x² = AC² + BC²
= 12² + 14²
= 144 + 196
= 340
x = √340
x = 18.4 ft
