A50-foot support cable is attached to a vertical pole at a point that is 5 feet from the top of the pole. the cable stretches diagonally to the ground and forms a 40° angle with the ground. what is the total height, h, of the vertical pole?

The total height of the vertical pole from ground is 37.135 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Length of support cable = 50 feet

Let x be the height of point where cable is attached from the ground.

We know that

From the figure, 

The total height of the pole = x+5= 32.135+5= 37.135 feet

Therefore, total height of pole is = 37.135 ft

$25

step-by-step explanation:

25 - 4.50 = 20.5

20.5 / 2 = 10.25

10.25 + 10 = 20.25

20.25 - 12.50 = 7.75

therefore the answer is $25 as shown as the first number.
