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 30°and 24°respectively.

Find the height of the two towers. Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures.


Consider the following figure:

In AEC,

tan30° = AEEC

 13 = AE120

 AE = 69.28m

In BEC,

tan24° =EBEC

 0.445 = EB120

 EB = 53.427m

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
