    Draw altitude BD of triangle ABC ( see sketch)
    We have B, H, D are collinear ( H is the orthocenter)
    Quadrilateral ADEB is cyclic so HE.HA=HB.HD= 140
    In cycle BTDC we have HT.HF=HB.HD=140
    So HF= 140/HT=8.5

      minor correction of the last line:

      So HF= 140/HT=8.75

    Draw altitude BP
    We have BH . HP = 140
    => TH . HF = 140 => HF = 8.75
