*find a theodolite or total station
*check for collimation
*check theodolite vertical axis
*set up the theodolite a distance away from the foot of the tower, or closer but using a diagonal eye piece
*use left face to bisect bottom point and clamp the horizontal plate
*check the tower zenith
transit and use the right face to bisect the bottom point and do as explained above
*dont forget to record readings of every stage.

. The angle of depression of the top and bottom of a tower as seen from the top of a 100m high cliff are 300 and 600 respectively. Find the height of the tower.?
I'm not sure if this is 100% correct but One Hundred and Five North Tower is based on Albert Smith's novel, The Marchiones of Brinvilliers, in which it is also called the North Tower.
from the water tower
Consider the following ._ . . . , ______ . , / . , / . , / . ______________/ Dotted line is to the top of the tower, and has an 18 degree angle with the ground Comma line is to the bottom of the tower, and has a 15 degree angle with the ground Visualize the two triangle that exist here: ._ . | . | . , | . , | . , | . , | . _________________| In both cases, the base of the triangle is 200 ft. The height of the dotted triangle is given as sin(18) * 200 = 61.80 The height of the comma triangle is given as sin(15) * 200 = 51.76 The top of the tower is represented by the dotted triangle, so it is 61.80ft above our observation point The bottom of the tower is represented by the comma triangle, so it is 51.76ft above our observation point. The height of the tower is the difference between these heights. 61.80 - 51.76 = 10.04ft The tower is a massive 10ft tall!
about 170 ft
