Question

A person of height 2m observes the angle of elevations of the top of a Pole 62m height which is in front of him and finds it to be 45. find the distance between the person end the pole . ​

Answer 1

Answer: d = 62

Explanation:

distance from pole to person = adjacent
Height of pole = opposite
Angle(theta) = 45°

We can use tan(theta) = opp/adj to figure out the distance.

tan(45°) = 62/adj
1 = 62/adj
adj = 62m

Thus, adj = distance = 62m
