From Point S, Samantha uses a clinometer to determine the angle of elevation to the top of the cliff as 35°. Hasan standing at point H, is 65 m away from Samantha and estimates the angle between the base of the cliff, himself and Samantha to be 53°. Samantha estimates the angle between the base of the cliff, herself and her classmate Hasan to be 45°. What is the height of the cliff, TB, to the nearest metre?
