Segments:
AB = CD = 24 meters
AD = BC = 2 meters
CE = h = unknown (in meters)


Angle:
Angle CDE = 45 degrees


Triangle CDE is a right triangle. 
Furthermore, it is a 45-45-90 triangle which makes it isosceles. 
The two legs CD and CE are congruent. Both are 24 meters long.
Therefore, h = 24.


Alternatively, you can use the tangent function to go from
tan(45) = h/24
to
h = 24


tan(45) = 1 when in degree mode.


The total height of the tower is: BC+CE = 2+24 = <font color=red size=4>26 meters</font>


Side note: 26 meters = 85.3018 feet approximately.
