Answer:

2. 2.3

3. 37.2 m

Explanation:

2. tan theta = opposite/ adjacent

tan 25 = x/5

Multiply each side by 5

5 tan 25 = x/5 *5

5 tan 25 = x

2.331538291

To the nearest tenth

2.3 =x

3. We want to find the height or y

sin theta = opposite/ hypotenuse

sin 60 = y /43

Multiply each side by 43

43 sin 60 = y/43 * 43

43 sin 60 = y

37.23909236 = y

To the nearest tenth

37.2 =y

The light pole is 37.2 meters tall
