the largest drop on a roller coaster has a slope of 64 degrees above the horizontal and covers a distance of 13 m on the ground. how tall is the roller coaster at its peak?

also can you please tell me which side of the triangle is 13 m? i have it marked as the base leg of the triangle but im not sure if that is correct. oh and i have no clue which angle would be the 64 degrees; i have it in the upper angle of the triangle but im also not sure if thats correct. please help me!!
