    You have to include a drawing that relates the distace between de towers and some angles.

    I will use one that gives the angle from the base of Seafirst Tower to the top of Columbia tower as 53 degress.

    This lets you calculate the distance between the towers, d, as

    tan (53) = 954 / d = > d = 954 / tan (53) = 718.89ft

    The same drawing gives the angle from the the base of the Columbtia tower to the top of the Seafirst Tower as 27 degrees.

    Tnen, tan (27) = height / d = > height = d*tan (27) = 718.89*tan (27) = 366.29 ft

    Answer: 366.29 ft
