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
