Question

URGENT PLEASE HELP ! A lamppost, CAB, bent at point A after a storm. The tip of the lamppost touched the ground at point C, as shown below:
What is the height, in feet, of the portion AB of the lamppost? (5 points)

Answer 1

$\\ \sf\longmapsto tan60=\dfrac{AB}{BC}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \sqrt{3}=\dfrac{AB}{14}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto AB=14\sqrt{3}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto AB=14(1.732)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto AB\approx 24.2ft$
