To find the height of a pole, a surveyor uses a theodolite. the theodolite is 4 ft tall. the surveyor stands 140 feet away from the base of the pole. then she measures the angle of elevation to the top of the pole to be 44°. what is the height of the pole? round the answer to the nearest foot.

Tan 44° = x/140

 x = 140 tan 44°

x approx = 140 * 0.9657 = 135.198

Remember, we need to add another 4 feet, so the answer would be 139.198 feet

The question is kind of confusing. if it's asking how many variations of answers can you give. then do 4^5 for your answer.this would be something like the first question could be a and the 2nd c or first b next c etc. if you can, ask the teacher for a better confirmation of what it's asking. if i'm assuming correctly what it's asking, it's 625 different variations.
