A Car Runs Into A Telephone Pole And Knocks It Off Perpendicular To The Ground By 9°. If The Pole’s Shadow Is 57 Feet Long And The Angle Of Elevation From The Ground To The Top Of The Pole Is 48°, How Can We Find The Height Of The Pole?
The Law Of Sines Allows Us To Work With Triangles Other Than Right Triangles. The Ratio Of The Sine Of An Angle And The Length Of The Side Opposite That Angle Are The Same For Each Angle.
