Solution

Concept: 0.5 Mark
Application: 0.5 Mark

Let AB be the vertical pole and CA be the 20 m long rope such that its one end is tied from the top of the vertical pole AB and the other end C is tied to a point C on the ground.



In ΔABC, we have

sin 30=ABAC

12=ABAC

AB=10 m

Hence, the height of the pole is 10 m.
