Answer:

40 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the tree be x meters.

Therefore, height of building = 5x

According to the given information:

Height of (building + tree) = 48 m

[tex]5x + x = 48 \\ \\ 6x = 48 \\ \\ x = \frac{48}{6} \\ \\ x = 8 \: \\ \\ 5x = 5 \times 8 \\ \\5x = 40 \: m \\ \\ height \: of \: building = 40 \: m[/tex]
