Algebra.Com's Answer #788883 by josgarithmetic(39627) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! For points the point on ground away from the hill, the top of tower, the bottom of tower, form a triangle. Best if you draw the whole description.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This upper triangle has angles \n" ); document.write( "top of tower, 61 degree 58 minute \n" ); document.write( "bottom of tower, 28 degree 2 minute \n" ); document.write( "Length between these is 45 meter. \n" ); document.write( "Angle opposite this is 5 degree 16 minute.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Use that to continue, and to finish.
