I see it.

The difference is quote subtle – look again.

Right now it reads the same as the original. I am curious to see if you will make the changes I expect.

You could provide some information like: angle, distance to the building, distance to the top, vertical angle, etc. and that the students choose the information that we think to need and put into the draw. All the information you offer them is equivalent. For example, if angle is 72º, then vertical angle is 18º. But they have the freedom to choose what information they need although they solve the same problem
