Two right-triangles formed share a common side, being distance from the woman to the nearest point of the flag pole.
\n" ); document.write( "u for upper part of the pole
\n" ); document.write( "d for lower part of the pole
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( " $\"system%28tan%287%29=u%2Fx%2Ctan%2835%29=d%2Fx%2Cu%2Bd=14%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Three equations in three unknown variables will allow for solving u, d, and especially x.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The analysis of question 1 takes that question only on its own and does not have any use of question 2 information. This means, that from feet or from eyes-level, the woman's height was ignored for question 1. \n" ); document.write( "
