Step-by-step explanation:
thr standard form for a quadratic equation is:
ax²+bx+c
in this example, a=1, b=(-1), c=(-42)
Using the law of cosins
sin(angle) = Opposite Leg / Hypotenuse
The angle is given as 35 degree and the hypotenuse is given as 30 feet.
Sin(35) = X ( opposite leg) / 30
X = 30 * sin(35)
x = 17.2 feet.
Total height = 17.2 + 6.5 = 23.7, round to 24 feet.
The answer is 24 feet.
