The task is to determine the distance \( AB \) based on the diagram provided. From the image, we can break down the information:

1. **Height at point A**: The height of the transformer station is 5.00 m.
2. **Height at point B**: The height of the pole at point B is 10.00 m.
3. **Horizontal distance between A and B**: This is 20.0 m.
4. **Incline angle from A to the horizontal**: The angle of 11.2° is given between the line from A to B and the horizontal.

The distance \( AB \) can be found using trigonometry. We will use the angle and the vertical difference in height between points A and B to solve the problem.

Let's define the problem in terms of a right triangle:
- The vertical difference in height between points A and B is \( 10.00 - 5.00 = 5.00 \, \text{m} \).
- The angle \( \theta = 11.2^\circ \) is between the horizontal and the line connecting A and B.
- The horizontal distance between A and B is 20.0 m.

Now, let's calculate the total length of the cable \( AB \). I'll compute that next.The distance \( AB \) (the length of the cable) is approximately 20.62 meters.

Would you like a detailed breakdown of how this was calculated, or do you have any other questions?

Here are five related questions you might find useful:
1. How would the calculation change if the height of the pole at point B was different?
2. Can this approach be applied if the incline angle changes?
3. What happens if we do not assume the transformer station and pole are parallel?
4. How could we calculate the horizontal and vertical components of the cable's tension?
5. How would the problem change if the slope angle of the ground was not horizontal?

**Tip**: Always ensure your angle is measured correctly relative to the horizontal when applying

Determine the distance AB, given that the height at point A (transformer station) is 5.00 m, height at point B (pole) is 10.00 m, the horizontal distance between A and B is 20.0 m, and the incline angle from A is 11.2°.

Learn how to determine the distance AB using trigonometry and the Pythagorean theorem. The problem involves a transformer station (5.00 m), a pole (10.00 m), and a horizontal distance of 20.0 m, with an incline angle of 11.2°. Suitable for students in Grades 9-11.
