The height of the flag pole which is described as in the task content is; 8.2m.
<h3>What is the height of the flagpole as described from the top of the 6m house?</h3>The horizontal distance between the 6m house and the flagpole in discuss can be evaluated by means of the angle of depression and trigonometric identity, tan as follows;
tan 22° = 6/x
x = 6/tan 22 = 14.9m.
Consequently, the horizontal distance from the top of the house to the top of the flagpole is therefore;
tan 9° = y/14.9
y = 14.9 tan 9° = 2.2m
Ultimately, the height of the flagpole is; 6+2.2 = 8.2m.
