<span>assume problem is right triangle with sides (l-8), (l-4), and hypotenuse of l 
pythagorous theorem states c^2 = a^2 + b^2 
l^2 = (l-8)^2 + (l-4)^2 
</span>l^2 = ( l^2 -16 * l +64) + (l^2 -8*l +16) <span>L^2 = 2*l^2 - 24*l + 80 
0 = l^2 -24*l + 80 
factoring 0 = ( l -20) ( L-4) 
l-20 = 0. l=+20 
l-4 = 0, l=4 but l-8 and l-4 are positive lengths therefore l cannot equal 4 
sides of triangle are 20, l-8 = 12, and l-4 =16 ( height up bldg)

</span><span>L^2 = 2*l^2 - 24*l + 80 
0 = l^2 -24*l + 80 
factoring 0 = ( l -20) ( L-4) 
l-20 = 0. l=+20 
l-4 = 0, l=4 but l-8 and l-4 are positive lengths therefore l cannot equal 4 
sides of triangle are 20, l-8 = 12, and l-4 =16 ( height up bldg)</span>

Your answer is going to be 16.
