A man standing near a radio station antenna observes that the angle of elevation to the top of the antenna is A = 61°. He then walkss = 110 feet further away and observes that the angle of elevation to the top of the antenna is B = 48° (see the figure below). Find the height of the antenna to the nearest foot. (Hint: Find x first.) ft
