Answer:

it‘s about

32.08 ft (if its not an answer choice try 32 or anywhere near that number)

Step-by-step explanation:

SO this is a simple example of triangles

We would need to find the heigh of the flagpole which is the leg of the triangle

The other side (14ft) is the 2nd leg of the triangle

And we know the hypotenuse is 35 ft

So we put that in Pythagorean Theroux and solve for the first missing leg

a^2+14^2=35^2

a^2+196=1225

a^2=1029

√1029 is about 32.08

So its about 32.08
