Aperson is standing exactly 36 ft from a telephone pole. there is a 30° angle of elevation from the ground to the top of the pole. what is the height of the pole? 12 ft ft 18 ft ft

As per the statement:

A person is standing exactly 36 ft from a telephone pole. there is a 30° angle of elevation from the ground to the top of the pole.

⇒Distance of a person from the telephone pole = 36 ft.

and angle of elevation ( ) = 30 degree.

We have to find the height of the pole.

Let h be the height of the pole.

Using tangent ratio:

Here,

Opposite side = h foot

Adjacent side = 36 ft

Angle of elevation:

Substitute these to solve for AB:

or

or

Simplify:

ft

Therefore, the height of the pole is ft

594 square inches
