Q1. A flagpole stands on top of a building. The angle of elevation of the top of the flagpole is 60° and the angle of elevation of the top of the building is 45°. If the height of the building is 20m, what is the height of the flagpole?
Answer: 14.64 m
Explanation: First, find the distance from the point to the building using tan(45°) = 20 / distance. Then, use tan(60°) = (20 + h) / distance to find h.
