Question

a flagpole at a right angle to the horizontal is located on a slope that makes an angle of 12° with the horizontal. the flagpole's shadow is 16 meters long and points directly up the slope. the angle og elevation from the tip of the shadow to the sun in 20°

a) draw a triangle that represents the problem. show the known quantities on the triangle and use a variable to indicate the height of the flagpole.

Answer 1

Difficult to show you without a diagram, but try.

The flagpole must make an angle of 78º to the slope (90-12). Since the sun makes a 20º from the horizontal then at the top of the flagpole that line makes an angle of 70º to the flagpole. The remaining angle is 180 - 78 -70 = 32º. so

Answer 2

16/sin70 = h/sin32
h = 9.02 m

Answer 3

you can use the draw option :D

Answer 4

ive solved it

Answer 5

do you know how to draw the diagram? O:

Answer 6

yeah
