Question

From a point P, a boy observe that the angle of elevation of the top of a pole is 45, if the height of the

pole is 15 m, find the distance of P from the foot of the pole.

Please help

Answer 1

15m

Explanation:

The pole is perpendicular to the floor and the angle of elevation is 45. Thus, it forms a right-angled, isoceles triangle. So the distance from point P to the bottom of the pole is equal to the height of the pole, which is 15m
