Ben is standing 8 feet from the base of a telephone pole.
The angle of elevation from the
point on the ground where he is
standing to the top of the pole
is 62°. Find the height of the
telephone pole. Round to
the nearest tenth.

Approximately 15.05 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use tangent for this question.

Since tan θ =

to find the Opposite, we need to rearrange the equation to:

Adjacent × tan θ = Opposite.

So if you insert 62 for θ and 8 feet for Adjacent, you will get:

8 × tan(62) = Opposite.

and you will get approximately 15.05 feet for your Opposite side

the answer is 510

step-by-step explanation:

15 • 13 = 195

15 • 12 = 180

15 • 5 = 75

12 • 5 = 60

195 + 180 = 375

375 + 75 = 450

450 + 60 = 510
