Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From a horizontal distance of 80m, the angle of elevation to the top of a flagpole is 180. Calculate the height of the flagpole.

We solve the above question using the trigonometric function of Tangent

The formula is given as:

tan θ = Opposite/ Adjacent

θ = 180°

Adjacent = 80m

Opposite = Height = x

Hence,

tan 180 = x/80

Cross Multiply

x = tan 180 × 80

x = 0m

The height of the flag = 0

We need to solve the speed formula for d. To do so, let's start by moving the number of the left hand side:

$\frac{S}{356} = \sqrt{d}$

Square both sides to get rid of the square root:

$\frac{S^2}{126736} = d$

Now plug the known value of the speed to find the distance:

$d = \frac{140^2}{126736} = \frac{19600}{126736} \approx 0.15465$

So the closest answer is the last one: d=0.155km
