Answer:
The answer to your question is: the height of the light pole is 15 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
See the picture below
Now, we can do proportions to finds the height of the light pole
Solve for x
x = 6(20) / 8
x = 120 / 8
x = 15 ft
The value of the cosine ratio cos(L) is 5/13
<h3>How to determine the cosine ratio?</h3>The complete question is added as an attachment
Start by calculating the hypotenuse (h) using
h^2 = 5^2 + 12^2
Evaluate the exponent
h^2 = 25 + 144
Evaluate the sum
h^2 = 169
Evaluate the exponent of both sides
h = 13
The cosine ratio is then calculated as:
cos(L) = KL/h
This gives
cos(L) =5/13
Hence, the value of the cosine ratio cos(L) is 5/13
