The length of the support post is 40 ft.
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, the height of the wall is 20 ft; support post forms 30 degree
Refer the attached image
Let us name the triangle as ABC where AB is the wall (opposite side) of 20 ft and is 30 degree (
) and AC is the length of the post.
To find: The length of the post (AC)
we know the formula, (trigonometric formula)
On substituting the values we get,
The value of sin 30 degree is 0.5
