I was in Sydney in 2003 and, while walking across the Sydney Harbour Bridge,  I took this photo of the Opera House. The picture was made from about the same height as the top of the highest sail. I made this picture from a point about 500 m horizontally from the Opera House, and, as we can see from the photo, the waterline below the highest sail has an angle of depression of about 8°. Based on this information, can you find how high above sea level is the Opera House's highest sail?
