Answer:
Charlie is incoerre
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Line of sight to top of flagpole = 16 feets
Angle of elevation = 60°
The height of the flagpole :
Applying trigonometry to the drawing in the attached picture :
We use:
Sinα = opposite / hypotenus
This enables us to use the value of the hypotenus (line of sight) to obtain the missing height value (h)
Sin(60°) = h / 16
h = 16 * sin 60
h = 16 * 0.8660254
h = 13.856406
Hence flagpole is about 13.86 feets high
Charlie's reasoning is incorrect, the line of sight constitutes the hypotenus and not Adjacent and hence, shoul

The width of the TV is 27.9 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Diagonal of TV = 32 inch
Height of TV = 15.7 inch
The diagonal makes the TV into a right triangle,
Therefore,
Diagonal = hypotenuse = c = 32 inch
Height = perpendicular = a = 15.7 inch
Width = base = b
Using pythagoras theorem
Taking square root on both sides
Rounding off to nearest tenth
b = 27.9 inches
The width of the TV is 27.9 inches
