Problem 4(200 Points):
The vertical angle to the top of the flagpole from point A on the ground is observed to be 60. The observer walks 10 ft directly away from the flagpole from point A to point B and finds the new angle to be 45. What is the approximate height of the flagpole. (Show your calculation process)
(tan60-tan45)x=10**tan60**tan45
x=10**tan60tan60-tan45=23.66ft
