The obelisk of a certain Rizal Monument rises to some height above its dais. The angles of elevation of the top and bottom of th obelisk from two stations A nad B on the same horizontal plane as the base of the dais are 48° and 30°, respectively. The corresponding horizontal angles to the common center of both obelisk and dais from the ends of the base line B-A, 25 meters long are 75 and 60°, respectively. Find the height of the obelisk in meters
