Answer:

30.17feet high

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following

the distance from the base of the pole to the tip of the shadow = 49feet (hypotenuse)

angle of elevation = 38°

Required

Height of the flagpole (opposite)

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

Sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin 38 = H/49

H = 49sin38

H = 49(0.6157)

H = 30.17feet

Hence the flagpole is 30.17feet high
