I am stuck again. You guys have been great with all your help. Please help again.

During a windstorm, a 32 foot vertical flagpole positioned on the ground cracks and bends in such a way that the top of the pole touches the ground 8 feet from the base of the pole. How many feet above the ground did it break?

How do you set it up and solve
 
Try the set-up and explanation posted here last night.
