Answer: To find the distance between the tops of two buildings, we first need to find the horizontal distance between the two buildings. This distance can be found using the Pythagorean theorem.
Let's call the horizontal distance between the two buildings "d".
d^2 = 12^2 + (34 - 29)^2
d^2 = 144 + 25
d^2 = 169
d = 13
So, the horizontal distance between the two buildings is 13 meters.
To find the distance between their tops, we simply add the height of each building:
distance = 34 + 29 = 63 meters
So, the distance between the tops of the two buildings is 63 meters.
