To find the height of a pole, a surveyor moves 120 feet away from the base of the pole and then, with a transit 8 feet tall, mea
sures the angle of elevation to the top of the pole to be 26. to the nearest foot, what is the height of the pole
1 answer:
Refer to the figure.
Let AB be the height of the pole; CD be the height of the transit; BC is the distance from the base of the pole to the transit.
Triangle ADE is a right triangle with angle D measuring 26 degrees. Using the tangent function, we have
So,
Therefore, the overall height of the pole is
The height of the pole is 66.53 feet.

Answer:
And the 95% confidence would be :
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the following info given from the problem
sample mean for this year
sample deviation for this year
random sample selected for this year
sample mean for last year
sample deviation for last year
random sample selected for last year
And we want to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference μ1−μ2, where μ1 is the mean of this year's sales and μ2 is the mean of last year's sales
For this case the formula that we need to use is:
The degrees of freedom are given by:
The confidence level is 0.95 and the significance would be and
so then the critical value for this case is :
The margin of error would be:
And the confidence interval would be given by:
And the 95% confidence would be :
