By creating two right triangles (one for depression and one for elevation) and by using 700 as the adjacent side, you can use tangents to find the opposite sides and add them together. 

Tan(45) = opposite side/700 or 700tan(45) = opposite side (elevation). 

This of course equals 700. 

Then do the same for the depression. 

Tan(32) = opposite side/700 or 700tan(32) = opposite side (elevation). 

Which equals 437.4. 

Adding the two together and you get the height of the cell tower at 1137.4ft

Answer:

1) She would save money if she paid per-visit. She would only pay %72 of what she pays monthly

2) She goes to the gym %43 of the days of the year

3) If she goes every day to the gym, she would spend $150 per month if she paid per-visit, that is %67 more than the $90 monthly fee

Step-by-step explanation:

1) She goes to the gym 3 times per week, so she goes 3*4.3 = 12.9 times per month. Thus, if she were to pay only $5 per day instead of a monthly membership, she would spend 5*12.9 = $64.5 per month.

Therefore, she would save money if she paid on a per visit basis, by using a rule of three, we can conclude that she would spend only 64.5*100/90 = %72 of her monthly $90 fee.

2) If she goes 3 times per week, she is going 3 days out of 7, thus, she is going 3*100/7 = %43  days of the year.

3) If a month has 30 days, then she would spend 30*5 = $150 if she paid per-visit and she went to the gym every day. That is $60 more than the $90 she spends for her monthly membership, in other words, it is 60*100/90 = %67 more than the %90 monthly rate.
