It is desired to sight from Dimasalang Hill (elev. = 196.85 m.) to Humabon Hill (elev. = 198.15 m.) 40 km. away. Sikatuna Hill (elev. = 197..65 m.), 2.2 km. away, apparently obstructs the line of sight. If towers of equal height on Dimasalang Hill and Humabon Hill are to be constructed so that the line just clears Sikatuna Hill by 2 m., what will be the height of these towers

= 198.15 m.) 40 km. away. Sikatuna Hill (elev. = 197..65 m.), 2.2 km. away, apparently obstructs the line of sight. If towers of equal height on Dimasalang Hill and Humabon Hill are to be constructed so that the line just clears Sikatuna Hill by 2 m., what will be the height of these towers? How high a tower would be required on Humabon Hill alone? On Dimasalang Hill alone? Please provide a presentable sketch of each problem being ask and show the solutions properly
