A vertical antenna is mounted atop a 23-foot pole. From a point on the level ground 52 feet from the base of the pole, the antenna sub tends an angle of 6.3 degrees. Find the length of the antenna.

Answer 1

Draw and label a diagram!

h represents the height of the antenna.

(h + 25) / 52 = tan 6.3°

(h + 25) / 52 = 0.11040

h + 25 = 5.74

h =

ooops something is wrong! Check the data.
