How high is the hill

Hi
Could anybody walk me through the basics please as I am unsure.

I know that the slope of a hill is 33m long and drops at a rate of 1 in 2. I need to find the height of the hill. I thought it would just be half of 33? but I am told its wrong and need to work out the angle at the bottom first and then do something with negative sin?????



Thanks
Baffled
