The diagram shows a vertical tower DC on a horizontal ground ABC.


ABC is a straight line.


The angle of elevation of D from A I'd 28°.


The angle of elevation of D from B is 54°.


AB=25m


Calculate the height of the tower.

the measure of ABD=180°- 54°=26°
and then the measure of ADB= x
and x + 26° + 28°= 180°, sum of anlgle in a triagle property
 it means x= 180°- 26-28=126°
application of sinus law in the triangle

sin 28 / BD = sin 126/ AD = sin 26/ 25 so we can deduce that 

AD= 25sin126 / sin26= 46.12
let 's consider the triangle ADC, so for finding h, we have sin 28 = h / AD
and then h = AD x sin28=21.65

Calculate the height of the tower is 21.65
