We can use the trigonometric tangent identity, this is:

[tex]\tan z=\frac{opposite\text{ side}}{\text{adjacent side}}[/tex]

Where z = 60°

opposite side = x

adjacente side = 50ft

Then:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \tan 60=\frac{x}{50} \\ x=50\times\tan 60 \\ x=50\sqrt[]{3}=86.6 \end{gathered}[/tex]

And the tower height is:

[tex]86.6+7=93.6[/tex]

Answer: 93.6 ft
