Question 1204103: From a point on a level plain the angle of elevation of the top of the hill is 23° 46', and a tower 45m high standing on top of the hill subtends an angle of 5° 16'. Find the height of the hill. Answer by josgarithmetic(39626) (Show Source):

x, length from point to bottom at center of hill
y, the height of hill
Then when you draw and label the description, you may make these:
