The flagpole forms a right-triangle with its base and its top
The height of the flagpole is 137.1 feet
How to determine the height?
To determine the height, we make use of the following tangent trigonometry ratio
[tex]\tan(68.5) = \frac{h}{54.0}[/tex]
Where:
h represents the height of the flagpole.
So, we have:
[tex]h = 54.0 * \tan(68.5)[/tex]
Evaluate
[tex]h = 137.1[/tex]
Hence, the height of the flagpole is 137.1 feet
