A man who is 2m tall is looking at the top of a pole at an angle of elevation of 45. If the man is 10m away from the foot of pole, calculate the height of the pole

Respuesta :

Answer:

Pole Height = 12 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

In the attached image, you can see that there is a 45-45-90 triangle created. Whenever you have a 45-45-90 triangle, the two perpendicular sides are congruent, so that little portion of the pole is 10 meters as well. Since we know the height of the man is 2 meters, we can just add 10+2 and you get 12.
