Question

3. A power line extends from a light pole 43 meters to the ground and makes an angle of 60 degrees with the ground. To the nearest tenth of a meter, how tall is the light pole? (2 points)

Answer 1

`37.2\ m`

Explanation:

Let

h-----> the height of the light pole

we know that

In the right triangle of the figure

`sin(60\°)=(h)/(43)`

`h=sin(60\°)(43)=37.2\ m`
