Answer 4

lol its cool, and yes

Answer 5

By Pyth, Thm
\[AC = \sqrt{12^2 + 5^2} = 13\]
CD/AC = sin 30
CD = AC sin 30 =?

Answer 6

6.5

What is height of the pole?
A.) 8 feet
B.) 10 feet
C.) 36 feet
D.) 48 feet

Answer 12

Have you learnt cotangent?

Answer 13

yes adj/opp

Answer 14

I'm thinking about something crazy :P

CD= 100-64 = 36
tanθ = x/64 -(1)
tan(90-θ) = x/36 => 1/tanθ = x/36 (2)
(1) x(2)
1 = x^2 / (36x 64)
x^2 = 2304
x= 48 or x=-48 (rejected)

Answer 15

x is the height of pole
