7. An old tower (BT) leans at 10 away from the vertical (represented by line TG).

The base of the tower is at B so that MB̂T = 100.

Leonardo stands at L on flat ground 120 m away from B in the direction of the lean.

He measures the angle between the ground and the top of the tower T to be BL̂T = 26.5.

(a) (i) Find the value of angle BT̂L .

(ii) Use triangle BTL to calculate the sloping distance BT from the base, B to the top,
T of the tower.

(b) Calculate the vertical height TG of the top of the tower.

(c) Leonardo now walks to point M, a distance 200 m from B on the opposite side of the
tower. Calculate the distance from M to the top of the tower at T.

A surveying team was lowered from a helicopter to the top of Andal to take measurements of
the area. Andal is 40 metres high. The angle of elevation from the top of Andal to the top of
Batsu is 3°. The horizontal distance from A, the centre of the base of Andal, to B, the centre of
the base of Batsu is 600 metres.

(a) Use the diagram below to find the height of Batsu.
