Answer 1

Tower A= 442 m

Tower B= 508 m

Explanation:

Tower A is 66 meters shorter than Tower B. The 381-meter-high Tower C is 61 meters shorter than Tower A.

We are given:

A= 381+61 ["Tower C is 61 meters shorter than Tower A"]

B= (381+61) +66 ["Tower A is 66 meters shorter than Tower B"]

C= 381 ["The 381-meter-high Tower C"]

A= 442

B= 508

C= 381
