Aflagpole is 50 feet from a point on the ground. the angle of depression from the top of the flagpole to the same point on the ground is 40°. calculate the height of the flagpole to the nearest foot

42 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a flagpole is 50 feet from a point on the ground. The angle of depression from the top of the flagpole to the same point on the ground is 40°.

We can see from the attachment that side 50 is adjacent and side h is opposite side to angle 40 degrees.

Therefore, the height of the flagpole is 42 feet.

square root of 36/6 = 2.449489743

square root of 16/6 = 1.632993162

square root of 6 = 2.449489743

the answer is square root of 16/6 because the square root of 36/6 is the same answer as square root of 6 = 2.449489743
