    I seek a picture set up only. Based on the picture, I will try working my way through this application.

    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?

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