A circus artist is climbing a 30 m long rope, which is tightly stretched and tied from the top of a vertical pole to the ground. The height of the pole, if the angle made by the rope with the ground level is 30∘
m.
The figure above represents the given situation.
In the given figure,
sin30∘=ABAC⇒AB=sin30∘×AC =AC2=302=15m.
