Hello, @Kings
If you are having this kind of issue that means archive file is not correct. Please copy the correct URLs from the tomcat site.

thor@host01 ~$ sudo tar -xvf apache-tomcat-8.5.69.tar.gz 
tar: This does not look like a tar archive

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
thor@host01 ~$

As I already added a note in the Solution. Tomcat version can be different at your time.
So right now, version is v8.5.72

thor@host01 ~$ sudo curl -O https://downloads.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-8/v8.5.72/bin/apache-tomcat-8.5.72.tar.gz
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
100 10.0M  100 10.0M    0     0  5536k      0  0:00:01  0:00:01 --:--:-- 5533k

After that extract it and perform further tasks.
