1. **State the problem:**
Calculate the height of the flagpole (FP) and the length of one of the ropes (PR) holding the flagpole.
2. **Find the height FP:**
Given a right triangle with hypotenuse $18$ m and angle $38^\circ$ at point G, the height FP is the side opposite the angle.
3. **Use the sine function:**
$$\sin(38^\circ) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{FP}{18}$$
4. **Solve for FP:**
$$FP = 18 \times \sin(38^\circ)$$
5. **Calculate FP:**
$$FP \approx 18 \times 0.6157 = 11.1$$
6. **Find the length PR of the rope:**
PR is the hypotenuse of the right triangle with legs $18$ m (hypotenuse of original triangle) and $9.7$ m (adjacent side).
7. **Use Pythagoras theorem:**
$$PR = \sqrt{(18)^2 + (9.7)^2}$$
8. **Calculate PR:**
$$PR = \sqrt{324 + 94.09} = \sqrt{418.09} \approx 20.44$$
**Final answers:**
- Height of flagpole $FP \approx 11.1$ m
- Length of rope $PR \approx 20.44$ m
