Q1 of 35 Page 219

A pole stands vertically on the ground. If the angle of elevation of the top of the pole from a point 90 m away from the pole has measure 30, find the height of the pole.

Suppose AB represents the pole. C is a point 90m away from the pole.



AB = Height of the pole


BC = 90m


B is a right angle in ∆ABC and C = 30⁰


In ∆ABC,









Thus, the height of the pole is 51.9 m.
