The feet of two vertical poles of heights 3metres and 7metres are in line with a point P on the ground, the smaller pole being between the taller pole and P at a distance 20metres from P. The angle of elevation of the top (T) of the taller pole from the top (R) of the smaller pole is 30◦. Calculate the: (i) distance RT (ii) distance of the foot of the taller pole from P, correct to 3s.fs. (iii) angle of elevation of T from P, correct to 1d.p. Please with solution

"Did you know that by using trigonometry, you can solve problems involving heights and distances? In the given scenario, where two vertical poles are aligned and an angle of elevation is provided, we can determine various measurements. (i) The distance RT, which represents the distance between the tops of the two poles, can be found by using trigonometric ratios such as tangent. (ii) The distance between the foot of the taller pole and point P can be calculated using the properties of right-angled triangles. (iii) Finally, the angle of elevation of the top of the taller pole, T, from point P can be determined by utilizing trigonometric functions. By utilizing mathematical techniques, we can find accurate solutions to various real-world scenarios involving heights and distances."
