A guy-wire is attached from the ground to the top of a pole for support. If the angle of elevation to the pole is 67° and the wi
re is attached to the ground at a point 137 feet from the base of the pole, what is the height of the pole (round to 2 decimal places)? A) 53.53 feet
B) 74.62 feet
C) 126.11 feet
Eliminate
D) 322.75 feet
<span>D) 322.75 feet use the trigonometric ratio Tangent to solve for this problem. Tan = Tan(angle) = opposite side / adjacent side we dont know height of pole so use x for opposite side. plug in values tan(67) = x/137 multiply both sides by 137 137*tan(67) = x plug into calculator to get 322.75</span>
