Hill B and Hill C with an elevation of 17.1 meters and 17.2 meters respectively is on a line between Building A and Building D. The elevation of A (5m), B (17.1m), C (17.2m), and D (20m) is given. The distance between A and B, B and C, and C and D is also given. If a line of sight originating from Building A is directed toward Building D, determine the height (h) of the transmitter which can be constructed on Building A.
