Answer:
The height of flag pole=8.3m
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
Height of boy=1.4 m
[tex]\theta=36^{\circ}[/tex]
Distance of boy from the flag pole=9.5 m
We have to find the height of the flag pole.
BCDE is a rectangle
BC=ED=1.4 m
CD=BE=9.5 m
In triangle ABE
[tex]\frac{AB}{BE}=tan36^{\circ}[/tex]
Using the formula
[tex]tan\theta=\frac{Perpendicular\;side}{base}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{AB}{9.5}=tan 36^{\circ}[/tex]
[tex]AB=9.5tan36^{\circ}[/tex]
AB=6.90 m
Height of flag pole=AB+BC=6.90+1.4
Height of flag pole=8.3m
