(1) You haven't said where point C is. It would make sense if it were the base of the flagpole; however, it is not our responsibility to guess what required information you have left out in your statement of the problem.

(2) Even if we knew where point C was, we would not be able to answer the question. You ask for a distance between the two points on the flagpole; but without any information about distances given in the statement of the problem, that kind of question can't be answered.

Re-post your question, giving all required information.
