Flag Pole Lab Math 10 2020

 

we had to determine the height of the flagpole in the front of the school with only the distance and angle, we estimated that the pole was 15 meters high, we found the distance from where we where working to the pole to be 10 meters and the degree of the angle to be 50 degrees, we then multiplied tan 50 by 10 and found the hight to be 12 meters, then after factoring in the eye height and rounding the number up we found the flagpole to be 14 meters tall.
