Answer to Problem 59E

54.87 ft

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Vertical height of totem pole =35 ft

Angle of elevation of the sun =37°12' , pole shadow extends down the slope.

Angle of inclination of hill side =6°40'

Let the length of shadow be S .

Calculation:

Draw a figure for the given problem as shown below.

  Advanced Mathematical Concepts: Precalculus with Applications, Student Edition, Chapter 7.3, Problem 59E , additional homework tip 1

Here S is the length of shadow of totem pole.

Use the properties of triangles and redraw the triangle as shown below.

  Advanced Mathematical Concepts: Precalculus with Applications, Student Edition, Chapter 7.3, Problem 59E , additional homework tip 2

Now use the laws of sine to evaluate S as shown below.

  Ssin52°48'=35sin30°32'S=35(sin52°48')sin30°32'                         [Muliply both sides by sin52°48']=54.87 ft

Thus, the length of shadow is 54.87 ft.
