Answer:

53.2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

tan(50^o)=\frac{AC}{BC} -----> by TOA (opposite side divided by the adjacent side)

substitute the values

tan(50^o)=\frac{h}{40}

solve for h

h=(40)tan(50^o)

h=47.7\ ft

therefore

The height of the pole is

h+5.5=47.7+5.5=53.2\ ft

ddd [48]

Answer:

0.58 or 58%

Step-by-step explanation:

If the highest probability is 1, and you already have 0.42, you have to find what is left, so our equation is:

1 - 0.41 = 0.58

So the probability of getting a head is 0.58 or 58%
