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
     tan\:26^{\circ} =\frac{AE}{120}
So, 
     AE=120\:tan\:26^{\circ}
     AE=58.53\:

Therefore, the overall height of the pole is 
     AB=58.53+8=66.53\:feet

The height of the pole is 66.53 feet.

The graph of a quadratic function meets the x axis where the x=3 and x=k. if the turning point of the function occurs where x=0.
liraira [26]

Step-by-step explanation:

The turning point of a quadratic function is equidistant from both x-intercepts (if they exist)

Since they do exist in this question, 3 + k = 2(0.5), 3 + k = 1, k = -2.

For A

opposite side = 2

adjacent side = 3

Substitution

tan Ф = \frac{2}{3}

Result

tan Ф = \frac{2}{3}
