Answer: From the 60° angle, the flagpole is the opposite side and the shadow is the adjacent side of the triangle.
tangent 60° = opposite/adjacent
so
tan 60° = 20/x
multiply both sides by x and you have
x · tan60° = 20
divide both sides by tan 60° and you have
x = 20/tan60°
x = 11.5 ft.
if this is wrong sorry don’t be mad but if it’s right then hope this helps
