The distance from the base of the telephone pole to Curtis is about 15 feet.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more number and variables.

Trigonometric ratio is used to show the relationship between the sides and angles of a right angled triangle.

Let d represent the distance from the base of the telephone pole to Curtis, hence:

tan(51.4) = (24 - 5.2) / d

d = 15 feet

The distance from the base of the telephone pole to Curtis is about 15 feet.
