Answer:

  60 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in height is the short leg of a right triangle with long leg 35 m and hypotenuse 37 m.

  (∆h)² + 35² = 37² . . . . . . . . . . the Pythagorean theorem

  (∆h)² = 1369 -1225 = 144

  ∆h = √144 = 12 . . . meters

The taller building is 48 m + 12 m = 60 m high.
