The picture shows a flagpole, AB, above a house.

A flag AB is above a house. Two lines are drawn from a point on the ground to the tip A and base B of the flagpole. The angle between these two lines is 15 degrees. The angle between the horizontal and the line joining the point on the ground with the base B of the flag is 45 degrees. The point on the ground is 13 feet away from the base of the house

Rounded to the nearest whole number, what is the height, in feet, of the flagpole AB?
