You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can use the tangent function on this problem: (h = height of flagpole.)
\n" ); document.write( "\"tan%2839%29+=+h%2F19\" Multiply both sides by 19.
\n" ); document.write( "\"h+=+19%2Atan%2839%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"h+=+19%280.80978%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28h+=+15.4%29\"feet.
\n" ); document.write( "
