Your question is almost impossible to read without capitalization and punctuation. It also has three misspelled words.

Do you do math in the same careless manner?
Answered by Steve
Draw a diagram.
T = top of pole
B = bottom of pole
S = tip of shadow
Draw a horizontal line from S to intersect the pole at P.

The height of the pole is BP+PT
BP = 16 sin14°
PS = 16 cos14°
PT = PS tan20°
