Use similar triangles
distance of man from puddle = 0.5 m.
distance of puddle from tower = 13 - 0.5 = 12.5 meters
so we have 2 similar triangles
one has height 2 m and base 0.5 m and the other has height x m ( the tower) and base 12.5 m

Corresponding sides are in the same ratio, so

2 / x = 0.5 / 12.5

0.5x = 2*12.5 = 25

x = 25 / 0.5 = 50 m

The tower is approx 50 m high.

Answer: Ron tower's

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Ron tower has a base of $A_r=8\ in.^2$

Freddy tower has a base of $A_f=6\ in.^2$

Suppose the tower is in the shape of a square prism

The volume of Ron and Freddy tower is $320\ \text{and}\ 180\ in.^3$

The volume of a square-based prism is $V=\frac{1}{3}a^2h$

$\therefore \text{height of Ron tower is}\ h_r=\dfrac{3V}{A_r}\\\\\Rightarrow h_r=\dfrac{3\times 320}{8}=120\ in.$

The height of Freddy tower is

$\Rightarrow h_f=\dfrac{3V}{A_f}\\\\\Rightarrow h_f=\dfrac{3\times 180}{6}=90\ in.$

Thus, the height of Ron's tower is more than Freddy's tower by $30\ in.$
