Question

From a point on the ground 12 ft. from the base of a flagpole, the angle of elevation of the top of the pole measures 53°. How tall is the flagpole

Answer 1

Answer:

4.75 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the flagpole be x

Sin 53 = x/12

x = 12 × Sin 53

x = 12 × 0.3959

x = 4.75 feet
