Answer:
height ≈ 30 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The situation is modelled by a right triangle.
let h be the height of the totem pole, then
tan50.1° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{h}{25}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 25 )
25 × tan50.1° = h , then
h ≈ 30 ft ( to the nearest foot )
