Question

After a storm, two street lights with the same length are leaning against each

Answer 1

Answer:

c = 4.79 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given question is incomplete without a picture; find the question with the attachment.

Two poles AD and DB of same length are leaning against each other.

Distance between the poles (AB) = 45 feet

m(∠ADB) = 180°- (60 + 50)°

               = 70°

By sine rule,

$\frac{sin50}{AD}=\frac{sin70}{45}=\frac{sin60}{DB}$

$AD=\frac{45\times (sin50)}{sin70}$

      = 36.68 ft

Similarly,

DB = $\frac{45\times sin60}{sin70}$

     = 41.47 ft

Now c = DB - AD

           = 41.47 - 36.68

           = 4.79 feet
