Chapter 13-3 Problem 17
Question
At the same time that the sun’s rays make a \(60^{\circ}\) angle with the ground, the shadow cast by a flagpole is \(24\) feet. To the nearest foot, find the height of the flagpole.
Solution
The first step in solving 13-3 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: At the same time that the sun’s rays make a \(60^{\circ}\) angle with the ground, the shadow cast by a flagpole is \(24\) feet. To the nearest foot, find the height of the flagpole.
From the textbook chapter Right Triangles and Trigonometry - 30 degree - 60 degree - 90 degree Triangles you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
