Angles at a point make 180° at a straight line.
Lx = 180° - (90+90)
Lx is 70°
Lx = 180° -(64+71)
= 180° - 13J°
= 45°
By using sine law
21/siny = length of pole/ sin 64
∴Length of pole = 21 sin 64/sin u5 = 26.69
Then the length of pole = 27ft

Answer:

Length of the pole is 27ft. ( rouding up to the nearest foot)

Explanation:

To solve this problem you need to understand that the the shadow cast by the pole on the ground connected to the pole itself and to the imaginary line of sun light forms a triangle with 3 different angles, please see the drawing to a better understanding.

* The sum of the internal angles of any triangle must be 180° then;

α: angle of the elevation of the sun= 64°

angle of the pole to the ground= (90-19)= 71°

β = 180 - ( 64+71) = 45°

*To find the length of the pole we can use the law of Sines;

|BC| / sin (α) = |AC| / sin (β)

|BC|= Length of the pole

|AC|= shadow of the pole on the ground which is known to be 21 ft

|BC| / sin (64°) = 21 / sin (45°)

|BC|= 21 x [sin (64°)/ sin (45°)]

|BC|= 21 x 1.27≅ 26.67 ft

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

If a pulley system has an efficiency of 74.2%, then only that fraction of the work performed will be useful. 74.2%=0.742. 0.742*200 is about 148J. Hope this helps!
