1. [Maximum mark: 7]

Point H on a hot-air balloon is sighted at the same time by two observers. One observer is at
the top of a vertical building that is 156 metres tall. The other observer is at the base of the
building.

The angle of elevation from point A (at the top of the building) to H is 40 ❑∘, and the angle of
elevation from point B (at the base of the building) to H is 57❑∘. Point X is the ground directly
below point H . This information is shown in the diagram.
