A person is standing exactly 36 ft from a telephone pole. There is a 30 and deg angle of elevation from the ground to the top of the pole. What is the height of the pole?

To find the height of the telephone pole, you can use the tangent function in trigonometry: ( \tan(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} ). Here, the angle ( \theta ) is 30 degrees, the distance from the person to the pole (adjacent side) is 36 ft, and the height of the pole (opposite side) can be calculated as follows: [ \text{Height} = \tan(30^\circ) \times 36 \text{ ft} \approx \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \times 36 \text{ ft} \approx 20.78 \text{ ft}. ] Therefore, the height of the pole is approximately 20.78 feet.


How long should a tetherball pole be?

A standard tetherball pole is typically 10 feet in height, with an additional 2 feet of the pole buried underground for stability. This makes the total length of the pole 12 feet.


How many meters in a flag pole?

I dont really know figure it out on a better sight!!


How do you find the angle of elevation from the tip of the shadow of a 12 foot flag pole to the top of the pole is 60 degrees?

You can use trigonometry to find the angle of elevation. Let x be the distance from the tip of the shadow to the base of the pole and the height of the pole be y. Then, tan(60 degrees) = y/x. Given that the height of the pole is 12 feet, you can solve for x to find the angle of elevation.


What unit would you measure to the height of the school flag pole?

Metres and centimetres or feet and inches would be used.
