Question

A pole is fixed on a level ground perpendicular to the ground and a point on the same ground 8m from the foot of the pole and the angle of elevation of the top of the pole is found to be 60 degree calculate the distance between the tip of the pole and the point on the ground

please mark as brainlist answer please plzzz

Answer 2

The distance of the tip of the pole from the point on the ground=16 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the distance of the tip of the pole from the point on the ground.

Distance of point on the ground from the foot of the pole=8 m

In triangle ABC

$\theta=60^{\circ}$

BC=8m

$\frac{Base}{Hypotenuse}=cos\theta$

Using the formula

$\frac{BC}{AC}=cos60$

$\frac{8}{x}=\frac{1}{2}$

Using $cos60^{\circ}=\frac{1}{2}$

$x=8\times 2=16m$

Hence, the distance of the tip of the pole from the point on the ground=16 m.
