If a flagpole casts a 13ft shadow on the ground when the sun is at 68° angle of elevation, which of the following expressions can be used to determine the height (h) of the flagpole? (assume the flagpole is at a right angle to the ground.) a) cot 68° = h/13 b) cos 68° = h/13 c) tan 68° = h/13 d) sin 68° = h/13

tan 68° = h/13 ⇒ answer (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The length of the shadow is 13 ft

∵ Angle of elevation of the sun is 68°

∴ The height of the flagpole is opposite to the ∠68°

  and the shadow is adjacent to it

∵ The flagpole is ⊥ to the ground

∴ tan 68° = h/13

answer with step-by-step explanation:

a. ∠j is supplementary to ∠k - true:

(opposite angles of a trapezoid are supplementary which means that they add up to 180 degrees)

b. kl is parallel to jm - true:

(opposite sides are parallel to each other in a trapezoid)

c. jk is perpendicular to kl - false:

(clearly, jk does not make a right angle with kl)

d. jk is parallel to lm - false:

(jk and lm are two lines opposite in direction to each other so they cannot be parallel)

e. ∠j is congruent to ∠m - true:

(the angles on each side of the base are congruent)

f. ∠j is congruent to ∠k - false:

(the angles on the same side but opposite side of the base are not congruent)
