Question 1194642: A vertical pole XY is erected on a piece of level ground. A student whose eye,E,is 1.5m above the ground is standing at Z 12m away from Y,the foot of the pole. If angle XEY=50° calculate the height of the top of the pole above the ground
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Make the figure drawing. You will have triangle YEZ; YZ=12, ZE is 1.5; angle YZE is 90 degrees. You could use Pythagorean Theroem to find length EY. This is not yet a finished solution but only a possible way to begin.
(EY is ).
