We have a triangle whose perimeter is 32 feet. Some information regarding the sides of the triangle is given:
GiveN:
- One side is 3 times the second side.
- Third side is 12 feet longer than the second side.
As we can see that, two sides of the triangle are defined the second sides. It means First and third side can be expressed in the form of second side.
- So let the second side be x
Then,
- First side = 3x
- And, third side = x + 12
We know that, perimeters is the sum of the lengths of all sides of the triangle, So it can be written as:
Solving it further,
Subtracting 12 from both sides,
Dividing 5 from both sides,
Then,
- First side = 3x = 12 feet
- Second side = 4 feet
- Third side = x + 12 = 16 feet
And we are done with the answer !!

Answer: the height of the pole is 16.1 m.
Step-by-step explanation:
The scenario is illustrated in the attached photo.
x represents the height of the pole.
y represents the distance from the foot of one stabilizing wire to the foot of the pole.
30 - y represents the distance from the foot of the other stabilizing wire to the foot of the pole.
In solving the triangles, we would apply the tangent trigonometric ratio which is expressed as
Tan θ, = opposite side/adjacent side.
Considering triangle ACD,
Tan 60 = x/y
x = ytan60 = y × 1.732
x = 1.732y- - - - - - - - -1
Considering triangle BCD,
Tan 38 = x/(30 - y)
x = (30 - y)tan38 = 0.781(30 - y)
x = 23.43 - 0.781y- - - - - - - - -2
Substituting equation 1 into equation 2, it becomes
1.732y = 23.43 - 0.781y
1.732y + 0.781y = 23.43
2.513y = 23.43
y = 23.43/2.513
y = 9.3
x = 1.732y = 1.732 × 9.3
x = 16.1 m
