To find the height of a pole, a surveyor uses a theodolite. The theodolite is 4 ft tall. The surveyor stands 140 feet away from

the base of the pole. Then she measures the angle of elevation to the top of the pole to be 44°. What is the height of the pole? Round the answer to the nearest foot.

Tan 44° = x/140

 x = 140 tan 44°

x approx = 140 * 0.9657 = 135.198

Remember, we need to add another 4 feet, so the answer would be 139.198 feet

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Please refer the diagram I have attached.

The height of pole will be in two parts, upper part is x and second will be the height of theodolite which is already given as 4 feet.

Using SOH CAH TOA in triangle ABC

tan 44=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

tan44=\frac{x}{140}

x=140tan44=135.20

So the total length of pole is = 135.2+4=139.2

Rounding to the nearest feet, the height of pole is 139 feet.  :  Answer

Hope it will help :)

X would equal 60 degrees because the degree of the top left area is equal to the degree of the bottom right. So the equation would be x+20=80 so you would solve to get x=60
