Answer:

  60 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in height is the short leg of a right triangle with long leg 35 m and hypotenuse 37 m.

  (∆h)² + 35² = 37² . . . . . . . . . . the Pythagorean theorem

  (∆h)² = 1369 -1225 = 144

  ∆h = √144 = 12 . . . meters

The taller building is 48 m + 12 m = 60 m high.

the smaller intensity is 3.7
thus the ratio of the intensity will be:
(larger intensity)/(smaller intensity)
=7.9/3.7
=2.135
~2 
Thus we conclude that:
The larger earthquake's intensity was 2 times as great as the smaller earthquake's intensity.
