One of the two (height of tower  or  angle of elevation) must  be given to  determine other.
$$\mathrm{One}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{two}\:\left(\mathrm{height}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{tower}\right. \\ $$$$\left.\mathrm{or}\:\:\mathrm{angle}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{elevation}\right)\:\mathrm{must} \\ $$$$\mathrm{be}\:\mathrm{given}\:\mathrm{to}\:\:\mathrm{determine}\:\mathrm{other}. \\ $$
