6. Two observation towers A and B are located 350 feet apart. An object on the ground between the towers is observed at point C, and observers on the towers note that the angles are as shown (62° and 75°). Assuming a horizontal surface and towers of equal height, how far is the object from the base of each tower and how high are the towers? 75 350
