53.2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

$tan(50^o)=\frac{AC}{BC}$ -----> by TOA (opposite side divided by the adjacent side)

substitute the values

$tan(50^o)=\frac{h}{40}$

solve for h

h=(40)tan(50^o)

$h=47.7\ ft$

therefore

The height of the pole is

$h+5.5=47.7+5.5=53.2\ ft$

The angle of elevation from a viewer to the top of a flagpole is 50°. the viewer is 40 ft away and t

step-by-step explanation: convert 5\frac{11}{12}5

to improper fraction. use this rule: a \frac{b}{c}=\frac{ac+b}{c}a

ac+b

3.25+0.5x+1\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5}{6}x=\frac{5\times 12+11}{12}3.25+0.5x+1

5×12+11

2 simplify 5\times 125×12 to 6060

3.25+0.5x+1\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5}{6}x=\frac{60+11}{12}3.25+0.5x+1

60+11

3 simplify 60+1160+11 to 7171

3.25+0.5x+1\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5}{6}x=\frac{71}{12}3.25+0.5x+1

4 simplify \frac{5}{6}x

x to \frac{5x}{6}

3.25+0.5x+1\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5x}{6}=\frac{71}{12}3.25+0.5x+1

5 convert 1\frac{1}{3}1

to improper fraction. use this rule: a \frac{b}{c}=\frac{ac+b}{c}a

ac+b

3.25+0.5x+\frac{1\times 3+1}{3}+\frac{5x}{6}=\frac{71}{12}3.25+0.5x+

1×3+1

6 simplify 1\times 31×3 to 33

3.25+0.5x+\frac{3+1}{3}+\frac{5x}{6}=\frac{71}{12}3.25+0.5x+

3+1

7 simplify 3+13+1 to 44

3.25+0.5x+\frac{4}{3}+\frac{5x}{6}=\frac{71}{12}3.25+0.5x+

8 simplify 3.25+0.5x+\frac{4}{3}+\frac{5x}{6}3.25+0.5x+

to \frac{13.75}{3}+\frac{4x}{3}

13.75

\frac{13.75}{3}+\frac{4x}{3}=\frac{71}{12}

13.75

9 simplify \frac{13.75}{3}

13.75

to 4.5833334.583333

4.583333+\frac{4x}{3}=\frac{71}{12}4.583333+

10 subtract 4.5833334.583333 from both sides

\frac{4x}{3}=\frac{71}{12}-4.583333

−4.583333

11 simplify \frac{71}{12}-4.583333

−4.583333 to \frac{4}{3}

\frac{4x}{3}=\frac{4}{3}

12 multiply both sides by 33

4x=\frac{4}{3}\times 34x=

×3

13 simplify \frac{4}{3}\times 3

×3 to \frac{12}{3}

4x=\frac{12}{3}4x=

14 simplify \frac{12}{3}

to 44

4x=44x=4

15 divide both sides by 44

x=1
