Finn looks at a map of 4G mobile towers in his area. There is one at Hollingworth Hill and another at Cleggswood Hill. The top of these towers have heights of 248 m and 264 m respectively. Let point A be the top of the tower at Hollingworth Hill, point B be the point vertically beneath Cleggswood tower and on a level with the point A and let point C be the top of the tower at Cleggswood Hill. A measurement of 4 cm on the map represents 1 km on the ground. Calculate ∠CAB, the angle which is the line of sight from the top of the mast at Hollingworth Hill to the top of the mast at Cleggswood Hill?
