    The distance between the friend's house and home is 14.263 miles.

    Explanation:

    Base, b = 17 miles

    angle, S = 24°

    Distance between friend's house and home, p = ?

    We know,

    tan 24° = p/b

    tan 24° = p/17

    0.839 = p/17

    p = 14.263 miles

    Therefore, distance between the friend's house and home is 14.263 miles.
