X = height of pole (in meters)
With respect to the 50 degree angle, the side x is the opposite leg. It is the leg furthest from the reference angle. The hypotenuse is 5 meters.
The trig function sine ties together the opposite and hypotenuse
sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(50) = x/5
5*sin(50) = x .... multiply both sides by 5
x = 5*sin(50)
------------------
Since x = 5*sin(50) isn't listed as an answer choice, let's try using cosine. We can't use it right away because we don't know the adjacent side. What we can do is change the reference angle. The missing angle of the triangle is 90-50 = 40 degrees. Let's make the 40 degree angle the reference angle
So x is now the adjacent side with respect to the 40 degree reference angle. The hypotenuse is always the longest side. The hypotenuse stays at 5.
cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos(40) = x/5
5*cos(40) = x
x = 5*cos(40)
This expression is listed. The answer is choice B
There are 91 such ways in whih the volunteers can be assigned if two of them cannot be assigned from 14 volunteers.
Given that a school dance committee has 14 volunteers and each dance requires 3 volunteers at the door, 5 volunteers on the floor and 6 on floaters.
We are required to find the number of ways in which the volunteers can be assigned.
Combinations means finding the ways in which the things can be choosed to make a new thing or to do something else.
n=n!/r!(n-r)!
Number of ways in which the volunteers can be assigned is equal to the following:
Since 2 have not been assigned so left over volunteers are 14-2=12 volunteers.
Number of ways =14
=14!/12!(14-12)!
=14!/12!*2!
=14*13/2*1
=91 ways
Hence there are 91 such ways in whih the volunteers can be assigned if two of them cannot be assigned.

All of the above. Sorry if this is wrong but in 99% sure it isn’t!!
