Question

Robert is lying on the ground, looking at the top of a flagpole. The angle of elevation to the top of the flagpole is 25°. What is the height of the flagpole if the distance from his eyes at the ground to the base of the flagpole is 200 ft? PLEASE HELPPPPPP

Answer 1

Answer: r =15 degrees

Explanation:

Measure the length of the shadow of the yardstick and the flagpole. Since the ends of the shadows are in line with the tops of the respective objects and the sun, the lengths of their shadows are proportional. Multiply the shadow ratio by the height of the yardstick (yh) to get the height of the flagpole.
