Solution

The correct option is A 56 feet
Detailed step-by-step solution:
Length of Tower 3 = 19 feet
Length of Tower 1 = 23 feet more than the Tower 3
= (19 + 23) feet = 42 feet
Tower 1 is 14 feet shorter than Tower 2.
So, Tower 2 is 14 feet longer than Tower 1.
Length of Tower 2 = 42 + 14 = 56 feet
Therefore, the length of Tower 2 is 56 feet.
