Question

A flagpole stands at the top of a slope. The slope makes a 6° with the horizontal. The flagpole casts a shadow down the slope that is 15 m long. The angle of elevation of the sun is 25°. Determine the height of the flagpole. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.​

Answer 1

Answer:mark brainliest please

7m

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of shadow = 15 feet.

Let the height of flagpole = A.

We know the angle of elevation is 25 degree

Using this angle and the tangent ratio, we can find A.

tan(25∘) = opposite side/adjacent side

              = A /15

∴ tan(25∘) = A/15

Rearranging:

A = 15 * tan(25∘)

By calculator:

A= 6.994

A=7m
