During a windstorm, part of the top of a flagpole breaks off. The broken top portion touches the ground at an angle of [c]5 deg 1[e] feet from its base (Note: if [e]=6, then 1[e]=16, and if [c]=3, then [c]5°=35°).
how tall was the pole before the windstorm
what a load of rubbish.
If the leaning part has length h, touches the ground x feet from the base, and the standing part has length y, then
y/h = sinθ
y/x = tanθ
Then the pole is y+h feet tall.
You can play cutesy games with [c] and [e], but when you finally get tired, just plug in your numbers.
