AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem step by step, we will use trigonometric concepts involving right triangles. ### Step 1: Set Up the Problem Let the height of the tower be \( H \). We have two points, \( C \) and \( D \), which are 4 m and 9 m away from the base of the tower respectively. The angles of elevation from these points are complementary, meaning if one angle is \( \theta \), the other angle is \( 90^\circ - \theta \). ### Step 2: Analyze Triangle \( ABC \) In triangle \( ABC \): - \( BC = 4 \) m (distance from point \( C \) to the base of the tower) ...
