A radio tower is supported by two wires in opposite sides. On the ground, the ends of the wire are 46.5 m apart. One wire makes a 62 degree angle with the ground. The other makes a 68 degree with the ground. Draw a diagram of the situation. Then, determine the height of the tower to the nearest tenth of a meter. i need help with determining the height, can some please help me

Did you draw the diagram as suggested? Assume the tower is supported at a point C and the wires come to the grounds at points A and B. Assume that the base of the tower (touching the ground) at point D.

You need to find the length of CD. Assume CD = h

How much is AB?
