construction workers need to determine the height of a hill. They set up a laser measuring device on a pole that is 1m tall and shine the laser toward the top of a second pole, which is 2m tall. Then they adjust the distance between the two poles until the laser hits the top of the longer pole and the top of the hill. The 2m pole is 425m from the center of the hill. The two poles are 10 m apart. Determine the height of the hill. (recommended) Draw a Diagram.


What is 86m.

 A telephone pole is supported by a guy wire which is anchored to the ground 5m from the base of the pole. The guy wire makes an angle with the ground and is attached to the pole 7m from the top. Another guy wire is attached to the top of the pole. This guy wire also makes an angle with the ground (same as the first wire) 10m from the base of the pole. Determine the height of the pole. (recommended) Draw a diagram.

What is 8.4 meters.
