Answer:  36 feet

==================================================

Work Shown:

(sign height)/(sign shadow) = (pole height)/(pole shadow)

8/2 = x/9

8*9 = 2*x ... cross multiply

72 = 2x

2x = 72

x = 72/2 ... divide both sides by 2

x = 36

The utility pole is 36 feet tall.

Please someone help me to prove this. ​

Answer:  see proof below

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Use the Double Angle Identity: sin 2Ф = 2sinФ · cosФ

Use the Sum/Difference Identities:

sin(α + β) = sinα · cosβ + cosα · sinβ

cos(α - β) = cosα · cosβ + sinα · sinβ

Use the Unit circle to evaluate: sin45 = cos45 = √2/2

Use the Double Angle Identities:   sin2Ф = 2sinФ · cosФ

Use the Pythagorean Identity: cos²Ф + sin²Ф = 1

<u />

<u>Proof LHS → RHS</u>

LHS:                                  2sin(45 + 2A) · cos(45 - 2A)

Sum/Difference: 2 (sin45·cos2A + cos45·sin2A) (cos45·cos2A + sin45·sin2A)

Unit Circle:    2[(√2/2)cos2A + (√2/2)sin2A][(√2/2)cos2A +(√2/2)·sin2A)]  

Expand:        2[(1/2)cos²2A  + cos2A·sin2A + (1/2)sin²2A]

Distribute:              cos²2A   + 2cos2A·sin2A + sin²2A  

Pythagorean Identity:    1 + 2cos2A·sin2A

Double Angle:                1 + sin4A

LHS = RHS:  1 + sin4A = 1 + sin4A   \checkmark

Part a at what speed v should an archerfish spit the water to shoot down an insect floating on the water surface located at a di
loris [4]
3.01 m/s  
This is a simple projectile calculation. What we want is a vertical velocity such that the time the droplet spends going up and going back down to the surface exactly matches the time the droplet takes to travel horizontally 0.800 meters. The time the droplet spends in the air will is:
 V*sqrt(3)/2 ; Vertical velocity.
 (V*sqrt(3)/2)/9.8 ; Time until droplet reaches maximum height
 (V*sqrt(3))/9.8 ; Double that time for droplet to fall back to the surface.
 
 The droplet's horizontal velocity will be:
 V/2.
 
 So the total distance the droplet travels will be:
 d = (V*sqrt(3))/9.8 * V/2
 d = V^2*sqrt(3)/19.6
 
 Let's substitute the desired distance and solve for V
 d = V^2*sqrt(3)/19.6
 0.8 = V^2*sqrt(3)/19.6
 15.68 = V^2*sqrt(3)
 15.68/sqrt(3) = V^2
 15.68/1.732050808 = V^2
 3.008795809 = V 
 So after rounding to 3 significant figures, the archerfish needs to spit the water at a velocity of 3.01 m/s 
 Let's verify that answer.
 Vertical velocity: 3.01 * sin(60) = 3.01 * 0.866025404 = 2.606736465
 Time of flight = 2.606736465 * 2 / 9.8 = 0.531987034 seconds. 
 Horizontal velocity: 3.01 * cos(60) = 3.01 * 0.5 =
