Two hills A and C have elevations of 400m and 650m respectively. In between A and C is another hill B which has an elevation of 830m and is located 16km from A and 12km from C. Find the height to be reduced from hill B so that station C will be visible from A. What height of tower must be constructed at C so that it could be visible from A with the line of sight having a clearance of 3m above hill B? What height of equal towers A and C could be constructed so that A, B and C will be intervisible with 3m clearance at B?
