Q: how do you indirectly measure an object? like a tall flagpole?
well i did this lab in my physics class.

^ thats a link to the picture of the lab paper we recieved.

you would use sine, cosine, and tangent, depending on which measurements you have.

im not sure if this will help much, but i hope it does.

sine would be opposite over hypotenuse
cosine would be opposite over adjacent
tangent would be opposite over hypotenuse

let me know if this makes no sense, i can try to explain it differently.

ohH! okay thanks!!
