A tower is located on a hilltop at T. Angular readings are taken with a theodolite from two instrumentation stations A and B, which are 50 m apart. Given the following data, determine the R.L. of hilltop at T and the tower height. Height of instrument (R.L. of instrumental centre) = 10 m. Vertical angles from A to the top and bottom of the tower at T is 35° and 28°(upward) respectively. Whole circle bearing of line AT, AB and BTis 25°, 110°, 5° respectively
