How can I indirectly measure a flagpole?


My math assignment is to measure a real flagpole in front of my school using four methods, not one of them being to take a tape measure and directly measure it.
I've already got two methods of measuring, but they were instructed to us. I made a hypsometer and a stadioscope with common household materials. The next two methods have to be thought up, they are not told to us.
Basically, I'm supposed to use similar triangles to find the height. Approximate height is okay, too.

Try tying a string to the top of the flag, raising it. With the string taut lay it on the ground at any distance from the base of the pole. Now measure the length of the string, the distance from the base of the pole to where the string touches the ground, last use a protractor to measure the angle between the string and the ground. Using those three measurements, compute using sin, cosine, or tangent to get your answer. (the length of your string is your hypotenuse)
