Answer:

The height of flag pole=8.3m

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Height of boy=1.4 m

[tex]\theta=36^{\circ}[/tex]

Distance of boy from the flag pole=9.5 m

We have to find  the height of the flag pole​.

BCDE is a rectangle

BC=ED=1.4 m

CD=BE=9.5 m

In triangle ABE

[tex]\frac{AB}{BE}=tan36^{\circ}[/tex]

Using the formula

[tex]tan\theta=\frac{Perpendicular\;side}{base}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{AB}{9.5}=tan 36^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]AB=9.5tan36^{\circ}[/tex]

AB=6.90 m

Height of flag pole=AB+BC=6.90+1.4

Height of flag pole=8.3m
