$$c=2\pi r=29 \\\\ h=r\cdot \tan{(57)}\\\\ h=\dfrac{29}{2\pi}\cdot\tan {(57)}\qquad r=4.62 ~m \\\\ h=4.61549335\cdot 1.539864964\\\\ h=7.1072365~m\\\\ h = 7.11~m$$

$${\mathtt{height}} = {\frac{{\mathtt{29}}}{\left({\mathtt{2}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{\pi}}\right)}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}\underset{\,\,\,\,^{{360^\circ}}}{{tan}}{\left({\mathtt{57}}^\circ\right)} \Rightarrow {\mathtt{height}} = {\mathtt{7.107\: \!236\: \!499\: \!870\: \!214\: \!1}}$$

height ≈ 7 metres
