You approach a hill on top of which there is a tall radio

You approach a hill on top of which there is a tall radio antenna. You know from your map that your horizontal distance from the bottom of the radio antenna is 600 feet. The angle of elevation to the bottom of the antenna is 10°, and the angle of elevation to the top of the antenna is 25°. You figure that the height of the hill is feet, and the height of the antenna is feet. (Enter your answers rounded to the nearest foot.) Hint: Draw a picture. Figure out the height of the hill. Figure out the combined height of the antenna and the hill. Compute the difference.
