From the extremities of a horizontal base-line ABAB, whose length is 1000 feet, the bearings of the foot CC of a tower are observed and it is found that ∠CAB=56∘23′\angle CAB=56^\circ 23', ∠CBA=47∘15′\angle CBA=47^\circ 15', and that the elevation of the tower from AA is 9∘25′9^\circ 25'; find the height of the tower.
