7) Two residential buildings are to be constructed with a grassy recreational area between them. The taller building is 800 ft high. From the roof of the shorter building, the angle of elevation to the top of the taller building is 60° and the angle of depression to the base of the taller building is 45° How tall is the shorter building? Round to the nearest foot.
