Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
base=42 m
height=h=?
base angle θ=60°
tan 60=h/42
h=42tan 60=42√3≈72.75 m
height of taller building=135+42√3 m≈135+72.75≈207.75 m≈208 m

Step-by-step explanation:
Since ABC is equilateral, all 3 sides have equal length. side AC is 8 units since side BC is 8 units.
Line BD is placed in the middle, making D the midpoint of side AC.
knowing this information we can determine that the length of DC is 4 units (half of AC)
since triangle BDC is a right triangle, we can use the side lengths in the pythagorean theorem to find the length of BD
a²+b²=c² where a & b = legs of triangle , and c= hypotenuse (longest side)
we are given the hypotenuse and found one leg so we can plug our values into the equation to find the third
4² + b²= 8²
16 + b² = 64
b² = 48
b = 
b= 4√3 or about 6.928 units

The equation: 6s - 10 = s
Add 10 to each side: 6s = s + 10
Subtract 's' from each side: 5s = 10
Divide each side by 5 : s = 2
