Question 341428: one end of a zip-line cable is attached to the top of a 55-foot pole while the other end is anchored at ground level to a stake exactly 55sq roots of 3 from the base of the pole.Find the angle of elevation of the zip-line. Thank you Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is a 30-60-90 degree triangle (SAT question). The sides have a ratio of 1:sqrt(3):2 (memorize this) so the hypotenuse is 110.
The angle of elevation is 30 degrees.
