C------------------ B
Let AB be the tall Burj Khalifa
∠ABC = 90° [Burj Khalifa will stand straight it wont tilt]
Let a man standing at C looks at the top of Burj Khalifa at angle 45° at distance 828m from Burj Khalifa
∴∠ACB=45°
Now,
tanθ=perpendicular / base
=AB/BC
Let AB be "x"
Here θ=45°
tan45°=x/828
1 =x/828 [∵Value of tan45°=1]
828 =x
∴ x = 828
∴Height of Burj Khalifa = 828m
This is how we can measure the height of Burj Khalifa with help of trigonometry
