How do you draw the picture for this problem? A flagpole stands at a right angle to the horizontal at the bottom of a slope. The slope has an incline of 8° with the horizontal. The flagpole casts a 20 meter long shadow up the slope. The angle of elevation of the sun is 17°. Determine the height of the flagpole.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let A be the end of the shadow, and C be the bottom of the pole on the slope. D be a point directly below C on a horizontal plane at the same level as A (i.e. on a horizontal surface below the slope). Let B be the top of the pole
