Tangent of the angles 

tan(angle) = opposite side / adjacent side

danjs · Answer

You see the whole big triangle has angle of 45+15 = 60 degrees?

anonymous · Answer

Yes

danjs · Answer

Let the height to the top of the flag pole be h 

Tan(60) = h / 16 

h = 16*tan(60) 

h is about 27.713 feet

danjs · Answer

now you have to subtract the height of the building... 

tan (45) = building height / 16

building height = 16*tan(45) = 16 feet

danjs · Answer

Flag Pole Height = Total Height - building height

                       = 27.713 - 16 = 11.7 feet
