Question

wires are attached to a pole to make it more secure. the diagram shows one of those wires having a length of 220 feet the angle of elevation from the ground to the top of the pole is 36 what is the height of the pole

Answer 1

in(36)=h/220ft
220ftsin(36) = h
h=129.3 ft

Answer 2

The height of the pole 129.31 feet.

Explanation:

Length of the pole = x

Length of the wire attached to the pole = 220 feet

Angle of elevation =
`\theta =36^oC`

According trigonometric ratios::

`\sin \theta=(Perpendicular)/(Hypotenuse)`

`\sin36^oC=(x)/(220 feet)`

`0.5877=(x)/(220 feet)(sin36^oC=0.5877)`

x =129.31 feet

The height of the pole 129.31 feet.
