By using trigonometric functions and understanding a geometric diagram, we conclude that the height of the other building is approximately 287.079 meters.

What is the height of a building?

Based on all the information given in the statement, we construct the entire geometric system behind the situation and whose representation is shown the image attached below. The height of the other building can be found easily understanding and using trigonometric functions:

h = 200 · tan 42° + 200 · tan 15°

h = 200 · (tan 42° + tan 15°)

h ≈ 287.079 m

By using trigonometric functions and understanding a geometric diagram, we conclude that the height of the other building is approximately 287.079 meters.
