Hill B (elev. = 2,338.253 m) is in between hill A (elev. = 2,336.264 m) and hill C (elev. = 2,352.428 m). The distance of hills A and C from B are 16.608 km and 11.878km, respectively. a. Find the height of tower to be constructed at hill A so that the line of sight would clear the ground at hill B by 3m. b. Find the height of tower to be constructed at hill C so that the line of sight would clear the ground at hill B by 3m c. Find the height of equal towers to be constructed at hill A and C so that the line of the sight would clear the ground at hill B by 3m.
