Let AB = distance between the two friends.

Here is the set up:

tan (82°) = AB/45

Yes?

To find the approximate height of the building, I must add AB + TB, where TB = 123 meters.

Yes?

 

[MathLover1]

Yes for set up
you must add AB + AT, where TB = 123 meters.

 

[nycmathguy]

Yes for set up
you must add AB + AT, where TB = 123 meters.

That's what I meant to say.
