Answer:

  128 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the tower above eye-height is related to the angle by ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(72°) = (tower height above eye height)/(40 ft)

  tower height above eye height = (40 ft)×tan(72°) = 123 ft

Since eye height is 5 ft, the total height of the tower from the ground is ...

  tower height = eye height + height above eye height

  tower height = 5 ft + 123 ft

  tower height = 128 ft
