    We have an rectangle triangle

    Pythagoras therorem:

    hypotenuse²=side₁²+side₂²

    hypotenuse=61 feet

    side₁=11 feet

    side₂=height

    (61 feet) ² = (11 feet) ² + side₂²

    3721 ft²=121 ft² + side₂²

    side₂²=3721 ft²-121 ft²

    side₂²=3600 ft²

    side₂=√ (3600 ft²)

    side₂=60 ft.

    heigth=60 feet
