Answer:

26m

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the opposite side (height of the flagpole) is to be determined given the angle and the value of the adjacent side(horizontal distance )

We would use tan 18 to determine the value of the missing side

tan 18 = opposite / adjacent

0.3249 = opposite / 80

0.3249 x 80 = 26m
