Shadow on level ground from the angle to the foot of the pole = 20 meter
Height of the pole (opposite the angle) = x
tan θ = tan 60°
Equation:
tan θ = [tex] \frac{opposite}{adjacent} [/tex]
tan 60 = [tex] \frac{x}{20} [/tex]
x = tan 60 (20)
x = (1.732) (20)
x ≈ 34.64 or 35 meters
ANSWER: The height of vertical pole is 34.64 meters or 35 meters.
