\begin{gathered} \cos \theta=(945)/(x) \\ x=(945)/(\cos (36))=1168.084239 \\ h1=\sqrt[]{1168.084239^2-945^2}=686.582689m \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} \cos \theta=(670)/(y) \\ y=(670)/(\cos (42)) \\ y=901.5739288 \\ h2=\sqrt[]{901.5739288^2-670^2}=603.2707097m \end{gathered}

Answer:


h1-h2=686.582689-603.2707097=83.31198832m
