Expert Answer:
One face of the tower with two upper corners 'D' and 'E' is shown in the figure.
'D' makes 60o with a point 'A' in the plane. Hence,
The corner 'E' makes an angle of 45o with point 'A' in the plane. Hence,
In triangle ABC, the angle ACB=135o (using symmetry, since the angle is same 45o with two upper corners)
Triangle ABC is redrawn below:
