A man is standing on the ground and looking at the top of a pole. The angle of elevation is 45°. If the height of the pole is 15 m, find the distance from the man to the pole.
Q1. A man is standing on the ground and looking at the top of a pole. The angle of elevation is 45°. If the height of the pole is 15 m, find the distance from the man to the pole.
Answer: 15 m
Explanation: Using tan(45°) = 15 / distance, we get 1 = 15 / distance, so distance = 15 m.
