To solve this problem, we can use trigonometry. Let's assume the height of the pole is h.
We know that the tangent of the angle of elevation is equal to the opposite side (h) divided by the adjacent side (40 mm).
So, tan(3 degrees) = h/40 mm
We can rearrange this equation to solve for h:
h = 40 mm * tan(3 degrees)
Using a calculator, we find that tan(3 degrees) ≈ 0.0524.
h = 40 mm * 0.0524
h ≈ 2.096 mm
Therefore, the height of the pole is approximately 2.096 mm.

To find side BC, we can use the trigonometric ratio of sine.
We know that:
sin(30 degrees) = opposite side (BC) / hypotenuse (AB)
Rearranging the equation, we have:
BC = AB * sin(30 degrees)
Plugging in the values, we get:
BC = 22.6 cm * sin(30 degrees)
Using a calculator, we find that sin(30 degrees) ≈ 0.5.
BC = 22.6 cm * 0.5
BC = 11.3 cm
Therefore, the length of side BC is 11.3 cm.
