What is the height of Building B? Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! From the facts we have
A = B - 190
and
A + B = 1520
Couple ways to solve this, but let's substitute the first into the second...so
B - 190 + B = 1520
2B - 190 = 1520
2B = 1710
B = 855 feet
so that A is 190 shorter or
A = 665 feet
