Question

A spotlight is aimed at an angle of 50 0 up from the ground. It is 50 ft from the
base of a signpost and shines on a sign at the top of the signpost. How high is
the sign?

Answer 1

Answer:

total high or perpendicular length=59.5876......

Step-by-step explanation:

tanx=perpendicular/base

so,

tan 50= p/50

base =50

x=50

so ,

p= tan50*50=59.59767963 ft
