#4) From the reference angle of 58° we can see that we have the side opposite to that angle as well as the hypotenuse. Recall that sin=opp/hyp so we are going to use sine to find that side
sin(58°) =
(multiply both sides by 19 to isolate x)
19 sin(58°) = x (plug into calculator)
16.1 = x
#5) From the reference angle of 56°, we see that we have the adjacent and the opposite sides. Remember that tan=opp/adj so we will use tangent to find x
tan(56°) =
(multiply both sides by 
)
(flip them so x is on the top)
[tex] \frac{12}{tan(56)} = x
8.1 = x

I would solve this using tangents. Let h be height of flagpole.
Set up 2 right triangles, each with a base of 40.
The larger triangle has height of "h+70"
Smaller triangle has height of 70.
Now write the tangent ratios:
Note: A-B = 9
To solve for h we need to use the "Difference Angle" formula for Tangent
Plug in what we know:
