From 2 points on opposite sides of a pole, 33m high,the angles of elevation of the top of the pole are 53 and 67. if the 2 points and base of the pole are on the same horizontal level. why are you not minusing the 2 distances

Because the two points are on opposite sides of the pole, the total distance between them is the sum of their individual distances from the base of the pole. If they were on the same side, you would subtract the distances to find the separation between them.
