A boat is heading towards a lighthouse, whose beacon-light is 107 feet above the water. From point AA, the boat’s crew measures the angle of elevation to the beacon, 6^{\circ}∘, before they draw closer. They measure the angle of elevation a second time from point BB at some later time to be 16^{\circ}∘. Find the distance from point AA to point BB. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot if necessary.

You are approaching an enemy compound that consists of a boundary fence and a tower located at the center of the compound. You discover that when you are 250 feet away from the fence the angle of elevation to the top of the tower is 23 deg and when you are 100 feet away from the fence the angle of elevation to the top of the tower is 36\deg . Find the following: The height of the tower in order to aim your weapon to hit the top of the tower and how far the tower is from the fence.
