The tangent of an angle is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side.

... tan(45°) = (height above eye level)/(20 m)

... height above eye level = (20 m)·tan(45°) = (20 m)·1 = 20 m

_____

Eye level is 1.7 m above ground, so the height of the flagpole above ground is

... height of pole = height above eye level + height of eye level

... height of pole = 20 m + 1.7 m = 21.7 m
