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

Based on the question
nlexa [21]

From the given table, we have that the lateral limits of f(x) as x -> 3 are different, hence the limit of f(x) does not exist at x = 3.

<h3>What is a limit?</h3>

A limit is given by the value of function f(x) as x tends to a value. For the limit to exist, the lateral limits have to be the same, as follows:

\lim_{x \rightarrow a^-} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow a^+} f(x)

In this problem, we have that:

  • To the left of x = 3, that is, for values that are less than x = 3, f(x) - > -3.
  • To the right of x = 3, that is, for values that are greater than x = 3, f(x) -> 4.

Hence the lateral limits are given as follows:

  • \lim_{x \rightarrow 3^-} f(x) = -3
  • \lim_{x \rightarrow 3^+} f(x) = 4

Since the lateral limits are different, the limit does not exist.
