The correct Answer is:
To find the height of the pole situated at the center of a regular hexagonal park, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Geometry We have a regular hexagon with a pole at its center. The angle of elevation from each vertex of the hexagon to the top of the pole is given as \( \frac{\pi}{3} \). ### Step 2: Area of the Circumscribing Circle The area of the circle that circumscribes the hexagon is given as \( 27 \, m^2 \). The formula for the area of a circle is: \[ \text{Area} = \pi r^2 \] Setting this equal to \( 27 \): \[ \pi r^2 = 27 \] ### Step 3: Solve for the Radius Rearranging the equation to find \( r^2 \): \[ r^2 = \frac{27}{\pi} \] Taking the square root to find \( r \): \[ r = \sqrt{\frac{27}{\pi}} = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{\pi}} \, m \] ### Step 4: Relate the Radius to the Side of the Hexagon For a regular hexagon, the radius \( r \) of the circumscribing circle is equal to the length of the side \( a \): \[ r = a \] Thus, we have: \[ a = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{\pi}} \, m \] ### Step 5: Set Up the Right Triangle Consider the right triangle formed by the pole (height \( OT \)), the radius \( OA \) (which is equal to \( a \)), and the angle of elevation \( \frac{\pi}{3} \). In triangle \( AOT \): \[ \tan\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \frac{OT}{OA} \] We know that \( \tan\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \sqrt{3} \), so: \[ \sqrt{3} = \frac{OT}{OA} \] ### Step 6: Solve for the Height of the Pole Substituting \( OA = a \): \[ OT = OA \cdot \sqrt{3} \] Substituting the value of \( OA \): \[ OT = \left(\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{\pi}}\right) \cdot \sqrt{3} \] This simplifies to: \[ OT = \frac{3 \cdot 3}{\sqrt{\pi}} = \frac{9}{\sqrt{\pi}} \, m \] ### Conclusion The height of the pole is: \[ OT = \frac{9}{\sqrt{\pi}} \, m \]
