Answer:

4.61 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of depression of the bottom of the shorter building from the top of the taller building = 48° equals the angle of elevation of the top of the taller building from the bottom of the shorter building

Using trig ratios

tan48° = H/d where H = height of taller building and d = their distance apart = 12 m

H = dtan48° = 12tan48° = 13.33 m

Also, the angle of elevation of the top of the shorter building from the bottom of the taller building is 36°

Using trig ratios

tan36° = h/d where h = height of shorter building

h =dtan36° = 12tan36° = 8.72 m

Now, the difference in height of the buildings is thus H - h = 13.33 m - 8.72 m = 4.61 m

Answer:

x = 128

Step-by-step explanation:

ill name the empty angle y for clarification

y + 38 + 90 = 180

y + 128 = 180

y = 52

180 - y = x

180 - 52 = x

x = 128
