Answer: b=47.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a Rigth triangle as the one attached, where "b" is the height in feet of the pole.

IFor this exercise you need to use the following Trigonometric Identity:

sin\theta=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

In this case, you can identify that:

\theta=30\°\\\\opposite=b\\\\hypotenuse=95

Then, knowing these values, you can substitute them into sin\theta=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}, as below:

sin(30\°)=\frac{b}{95}

Finally, you must solve for "b" in order to find its value. You get that this is:

95*sin(30\°)=b\\\\b=47.5

Answer:

factor:

x^2+2x+2x+4

x(x+2)+2(x+2)

(x+2)(x+2)

100x^2+20x+1

100x^2+10x+(10x+1)

10(10x+1)+(10x+1)

(10x+1)(10x+1)=(x+2)(x+2)
