Question
7) Please include complete solution and diagram if possible.
The elevation of station Alpha is 680 m
while that of Charlie is 620 m. In between
stations Alpha and Charlie is station Bravo
with elevation 645 m. The distance from
Alpha to Bravo is 12 km and from Bravo to
Charlie is 15 km. Assuming that station
Bravo will obstruct the line of sight from
station Alpha while observing station
Charlie and a 4-m tower is constructed on
top of station Bravo, find the height (in m)
of equal towers at stations Alpha and
Charlie in order that the three stations as
observed from station Alpha will still be
intervisible?
