A woman standing on a hill sees a flagpole that she knows is 65 ft tall. The angle of depression to the bottom of the pole is 14
°, and the angle of elevation to the top of the pole is 18°. Find her distance x from the pole.
1 answer:
Answer:
Let the distance between woman and pole be "x".
From diagram,
In ΔOAB,
tan 18 = 
tan 18 = 
∴ x =
................ (1)
In ΔOBC
tan 14 = 
tan 14 = 
y = x × tan 14 ..............(2)
equating (2) in (1), we get;
x = 
x = 
∵ tan 18 + tan 14 = 0.574
<em>∴ x = 113.2 ft</em>
<em>i.e. The her distance from the pole is 113.2 ft.</em>
