Answer:
34.6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. Where a, b, c are the sides of a right triangle with c as the hypotenuse, it tells you ...
a² + b² = c²
a = √(c² -b²)
base-to-string = √(39² -18²) = √1197 ≈ 34.598
The distance from the base of the pole to the end of the string is about 34.6 feet.

Answer:
angle of depression ≈ 53.8°
Step-by-step explanation:
the angle of depression is the measure of the angle from the horizontal downwards from the top of the flag pole.
this angle is alternate to ∠ A and is congruent to ∠ A
using the sine ratio in the right triangle
sin A =
=
, then
∠ A =
(
) ≈ 53.8° ( to 1 d.p )
Angle of depression ≈ 53.8°
