Jack looks at a clock tower from a distance and determines that the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is 40°. John, who is standing 20 meters from Jack as shown in the diagram, determines that the angle of elevation to the top of the tower is 60°. If Jack’s and John’s eyes are 1.5 meters from the ground, how far is John from the base of the tower? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
