Did you make a sketch??
The difference in their connection points is 4 m.
and you have a triangle with base 10, height 4 and missing hypotenuse
x^2 = 4^2 + 10^2

Where does this 12 come from? sqrt(116) will be accepted in anything unless the question asks specifically for decimals or fractions

I agree with Reiny but i think why maria had a problem is because the question has very bad wording of what the buildings look like
