Answer:

The height of the tower is 94 ft

Explanation:

In a given right angle triangle we will use ''sohcahtoa".

tan (60°) = opp/adj

tan (60°) = x/50

√3 = x/50

x = 50√3

x = 50 × 1.732

x = 86.6

Now, The height of the tower is (x + 7)

86.6 + 7 = 93.6 ≈ 94

Thus, The height of the tower is 94 ft
