The upper 3/4 th portion of a vertical p...

The upper `3/4` th portion of a vertical pole subtends an angle `theta` such that tan `theta=3/5` at a point in the horizontal plane through its foot and at a distance 40m from the foot. Find the possible height of the vertical pole.

To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the given information and use trigonometric identities. ### Step 1: Define the variables Let the total height of the pole be \( h \). The upper \( \frac{3}{4} \) portion of the pole is \( \frac{3}{4}h \). The distance from the foot of the pole to the point where the angle is measured is \( 40 \) meters. ### Step 2: Use the tangent of the angle We are given that \( \tan \theta = \frac{3}{5} \). This means that at the point where the angle is measured, the opposite side (the height of the upper \( \frac{3}{4} \) of the pole) and the adjacent side (the distance from the pole) can be represented as: \[ ...
