1. A flagpole is situated at the top of a building 115 ft tall. From a point, P, in the same horizontal plane as the base, B, of the building the angles of elevation of the top, T, and bottom, F, of the flagpole are 63° and 58°, respectively. If the length of segment PF is x feet, then which of the following equations solves for x? a) x = 115/sin 58⁰ b) x 115 sin 58⁰ c) x = 115 sin 63⁰ d) x = 115/sin 63⁰
