The answer is 13.2 m.
Because we are only given the hypotenuse, adjacent, and theta measurements.
the opposite side is always opposite theta. In this case, theta is 39 degrees. The hypotenuse is always the slant of the triangle, so it is 17 m. And adjacent is obviously the only one left, in this case, it is x.

You have to use sin, cos, or tan for this problem. You would use cos because cos = adjacent /hypotenuse (x/17)

so you would do cos(39) times 17
x = cos(39) * 17
x = .777 * 17
x = 13.21 

And it says round to the nearest tenth, so it is 13.2 m.
Hope this helps.

The distance from Roman's feet to the base of the flag pole 13.2 m.

What is Trigonometry?

It is a branch of mathematics that studies relationships between side lengths and angles of triangles.

Given:

Angle of elevation= 39.

Hypotenuse = 17 m

Using Trigonometry

cos 39 = adjacent side /hypotenuse

cos 39= base/17

0.777= base/17

base= 0.777*17

base= 13.21m

base= 13.2 m.(rounding off)

Hence, the distance from Roman's feet to the base of the flag pole 13.2 m.
