The horizontal distance between two towers is 120 m. The angle of elevation of the top and angle of depression of the bottom of the first tower as observed from the second tower is and respectively.
Find the height of the two towers. Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures.
Consider the following figure:
In ,
In ,
Thus, the height of first tower, AB = AE + EB
= 69.282 + 53.427
= 122.709m = 122 m
And height of second tower, CD = EB = 53.427m = 53.4m
