272. A wooden flagpole is embedded 3
m deep at corner A of a concrete
horizontal slab ABCD, square in form
and measuring 20 ft on a side. A storm
broke the flag pole at a point one meter
above the slab and inclined toward
corner C in the direction of the diagonal
AC. The vertical angles observed at the
center of the slab and at corner C to the
tip of the flag pole were 65° and 35°,
respectively. What is the total length of
the flagpole above the slab in yards?
Answer: 5.61 yards
