Problema Solution
A 40 foot flag pole has a rope tied from top to the ground. The rope makes a 25 degree angle with the ground. How long is the rope?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let
h = 40 ft the height of the flag pole
x = the length of the rope
sin(25) = h/x
x = h/(sin(25))
x = 40/(sin(25))
x = 94.65 ft
The rope is 94.65 feet.
