Question from Lorilyn: A pole,110meters high,cast a shadow of 35meters long,what is the angle |
Lorilyn,
In my diagramTh ple is represented by the line segument CA and the shadow by AB.
I am going to assume that the angle you are seeking is the angle ABC. What trig function relates the mesure of the angle ABC to the lengths of CA and AB?
