Step-by-step explanation:
Let AB and CD be the multi-storied building and the building respectively.
Let the height of the multi-storied building be hm and the distance between the two building be xm
AE=CD=8m [ Given ]
BE=AB−AE=(h−8)m and
AC=DE=xm [ Given ]
Now, in △ACB,
⇒ tan45
o
=
AC
AB
⇒ 1=
x
h
∴ x=h ---- ( 1 )
In △BDE,
⇒ tan30
o
=
ED
BE
⇒

=

h−8
∴ x=

(h−8) ------ ( 2 )
⇒ h=

⇒

h−h=8

∴ The height of the multi-storied building and the distance between the two buildings is (12+4
