A guy-wire is attached to a pole for support. If the angle of elevation to the pole is 67° and the wire is attached to the ground at a point 137 feet from the base of the pole, what is the height of the pole (round to 2 decimal places)?

tan (67) = pole / 137
2.3559 = pole / 137
pole = 137 * 2.3559
pole = 322.7583
pole = 322.76 feet
