Answer:
The correct option is:
Building B; it is around 16.35 feet taller than building A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consult the diagram below where the first figure represent building A and second figure represents building B
For building A:
tan θ = Perpendicular / Base
tan 73° = Height of building A / 30
Height of building A = tan73 · 30
Height of building A = 98.13 ft
For building B:
tan θ = Perpendicular / Base
tan 73° = Height of building B / 35
Height of building A = tan73 · 35
Height of building A = 114.48 ft
Building B is taller
Difference in height = height of building B - height of building A
Difference in height = 114.48 - 98.13 = 116.35 feet
