From a horizontal distance of 80 m, the angle of elevation to the top of a flagpole is 18 degree. Calculate the height of the fl
1 answer:
Answer:
26m
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of the opposite side (height of the flagpole) is to be determined given the angle and the value of the adjacent side(horizontal distance )
We would use tan 18 to determine the value of the missing side
tan 18 = opposite / adjacent
0.3249 = opposite / 80
0.3249 x 80 = 26m
