               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
