HAHAHHAHA, im going 2 fail now :D A 36-foot long rope is tied from the top of a pole to a stake in the ground. If the stake is 17 feet from the base of the pole, find the height of the pole. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Perpendicular = 31.73 ft (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of rope (Hypotenuse) = 36 ft

Base = 17 ft

Find:

Height of pole (Perpendicular)

Computation:

Perpendicular = √Hypotenuse² - Base²

Perpendicular = √36² - 17²

Perpendicular = √1,296 - 289

Perpendicular = 31.73 ft (Approx)

answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° =

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =  

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet
