Answer:
270 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
For clarity, the image below represents the problem. Let's call h the height of the tower. Notice that it forms 2 triangles that are similar to side-angle-side. So, we can calculate the higher of the tower by similar triangles:
higher1/base1 = higher2/base2
h/135 = 6/3
h/135 = 2
h = 270 ft
