Question

wires are attached to a pole to make it more secure. the diagram shows one of those wires having a length of 220 feet the angle of elevation from the ground to the top of the pole is 36 what is the height of the pole

Answer 1

In(36)=h/220ft
220ftsin(36) = h
h=129.3 ft

Answer 2

Answer:

The height of the pole 129.31 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the pole = x

Length of the wire attached to the pole = 220 feet

Angle of elevation = $\theta =36^oC$

According trigonometric ratios::

$\sin \theta=\frac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}$

$\sin36^oC=\frac{x}{220 feet}$

$0.5877=\frac{x}{220 feet}(sin36^oC=0.5877)$

x =129.31 feet

The height of the pole 129.31 feet.
