The Attempt at a Solution

Solved for Poil using P = Po + F/A = 1.79 X 105. Simple enough.
Since pressure is the same across any level, we first have to first figure out the distance from Po to the top of A. This is where I am stuck. I feel like its something very simple but I just don't see it!
The distance is 70cm. We did this one in class, but I still don't see it.
