Question 917627: A 10 foot rope is used to tie down a shop sign, if the angle of elevation of the rope from the ground is 75 degrees, how high is the sign? This is a trig function problem. (angle of elevation to solve problem) Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Rope length = 10 feet
angle of elevation = 75 deg
Height of pole = x
x/10 = sin 75
x= 10 * sin 75
9.66 feet height of pole
