A TREE AND A FLAGPOLE ARE IN THE SAME GROUND.A BIRD ON TOP OF THE TREE OBSERVERS THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE FLAGPOLE BELOW IT AT ANGLES OF 46 AND 60 DEGREES RESPECTIVELY. IF THE TREE IS 10.65m HIGH WHAT IS THE HEIGHT OF THE FLAGPOLE

Answer 1

Draw a diagram.

The distance x between the tree and pole can be found using

10.65/x = tan60°

Then the remaining height y of the top of the tree and the top of the pole is found by

y/x = tan46°
