1: A man 2metre tall stands on thesame level ground as a vertical pole,he observe that the angle of elevation of the top of the pole is 21° and the angle of depression of the foot of the pole is 6°.find the correct to the nearest metre.
A.how far the pole is from the man
B.the height of the pole.

Step-by-step explanation:
A man observes 6° angle of depression which is the horizontal to the bottom.
which means, that is the height of himself from that distance. so for every 6° angle of elevation he's observing his height
So the height of the pole
= 2m + (2m for every 6° angle of elevation )
= 2m + ( 2m×21/6)
= 2m + (7m)
=9m
Now the distance of the pole can be calculated as the horizontal line from where he's standing
we can take either the angle of depression or elevation for this
from depression we have
tan6°= 2/b
=tan 30°/5 = 2/b
=1/✓3 = 2
5 b
b/✓3= 5×2
b= 10✓3 = 17.32m
from angle of elevation
tan 21° = 7/b
b = 7/tan 21°
= 7/ 0.3838
= 18.23m( the result is slightly different using calculator)
even the first one in calculator will give you 19m approx
so 17.32 m can be considered most accurate among the three.
