A. Building A, which is approximately 100.69 feet taller than building B. To determine this, since building A sits 120 feet away at an elevation of $40^{0}$ , we use: Tan $40^{0}$ = $\frac{x}{120}$ . Let x represent the height of the building at the horizontal level, resulting in x = Tan $40^{0}$ × 120 = 100.692 feet. For building B, located at the same elevation, apply Tan $40^{0}$ = $\frac{x}{60}$ . Thus, x = Tan $40^{0}$ × 60 = 50.346 feet. Given the same angles of elevation, building A stands around 100.69 feet taller than building B.

Building A exceeds Building B in height by 50.34 feet. One should subtract both measurements.
