Mathematics: Type the correct answer in each box. Spell all words correctly. Mike and Charlie are facing each other. There is a flagpole exactly halfway between them. Their line of sight to the top of the flagpole is 16 feet, with an angle of elevation of 60°. Mike and Charlie both calculated the height of the flagpole as shown below. Mike s Calculation Charlie s Calculation Examine Mike and Charlie s calculations and complete the statement below. The person with the incorrect reasoning for the height of the

Charlie is incoerre

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Line of sight to top of flagpole = 16 feets

Angle of elevation = 60°

The height of the flagpole :

Applying trigonometry to the drawing in the attached picture :

We use:

Sinα = opposite / hypotenus

This enables us to use the value of the hypotenus (line of sight) to obtain the missing height value (h)

Sin(60°) = h / 16

h = 16 * sin 60

h = 16 * 0.8660254

h = 13.856406

Hence flagpole is about 13.86 feets high

Charlie's reasoning is incorrect, the line of sight constitutes the hypotenus and not Adjacent and hence, shoul
