We can make a conclusion that the more fog there is, the less distance the pilot can see. this means that there is a negative association because if this were graphed, the slop would be negative, as the x-axis (amount of fog) increases and the y-axis (distance pilot can see) decreases.
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:



B I think hopes this helps
