The correct Answer is:
To find the height of the pole using the information given in the problem, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a vertical pole and a rope that is tied from the top of the pole to the ground, forming a right triangle. The length of the rope is given as 20 meters, and the angle between the rope and the ground is 30 degrees. ### Step 2: Identify the Triangle In this right triangle: - The height of the pole (which we need to find) is the perpendicular side (let's call it \( h \)). - The length of the rope is the hypotenuse, which is 20 meters. - The angle made with the ground is 30 degrees. ### Step 3: Use the Sine Function We can use the sine function, which relates the angle to the opposite side (height of the pole) and the hypotenuse. The formula is: \[ \sin(\theta) = \frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Hypotenuse}} \] In our case: \[ \sin(30^\circ) = \frac{h}{20} \] ### Step 4: Substitute the Value of Sine We know that: \[ \sin(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{2} \] Substituting this into the equation gives: \[ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{h}{20} \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( h \) To find \( h \), we can rearrange the equation: \[ h = 20 \times \frac{1}{2} \] \[ h = 10 \text{ meters} \] ### Conclusion The height of the pole is 10 meters.
