Answer: The answer is 139 feet

H = height of the pole =?

BC = ED = height of the transit = 4 ft

CD = BE = distance moved away from the base of the pole = 140 ft

Consider the ΔABE

tan44 = AE/BE

tan44 = h/140

h = 140 tan44

h = 135.2 ft

H = height of pole = AE + ED = h + ED = 135.2 + 4

H = 139.2 ft
