34 In a society, there are many multistory buildings. The RWA of the society wants to install a tower and a water tank so
that all the households can get water without using water pumps.
For this they have measured the height of the tallest building in the society and now they want to install a tower that
will be taller than that so that the level of water must be higher than the tallest building in their society. Here is one
solution they have found and now they want to check if it will work or not.
From a point on the ground 40 m away from the foot of a tower, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is 300.

the angle of elevation of the top of the water tank is 45o.
