Question
CN Tower The CN Tower in Toronto, Canada, is the tallest free-standing structure in North America. A woman on the observation deck, 1150 ft above the ground, wants to determine the distance between two landmarks on the ground below. She observes that the angle formed by the lines of sight to these two landmarks is 43°. She also observes that the angle between the
vertical and the line of sight to one of the landmarks is 62° and that to the other landmark is 54°. Find the distance between the two landmarks.

One end of a cable is anchored to the ground, and the other end is attached to the top of the tower. The two supporting cables are anchored to the ground at points A and B, which are 12 m apart. The angle between the ground and the cable anchored to points A and B is 62° and 72° respectively. Determine the height of the tower. Round your final answer to the nearest meter.arrow_forward
