A suspension bridge has two main towers of equal height.  A visitor on a tour ship approaching the bridge estimates that the angle of elevation to one of the towers is 19 degrees.  After sailing 404 ft closer he estimates the angle of elevation to the same tower to be 49 degrees.  Approximate the height of the tower.  Please help.  I am confused.
