From the top of the tower, the angles of depression of two houses A and B on east and west sides of it are observed to be $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$. Then the house $B$ is closer than the house A from the tower.
The angle of elevation of a house from a point A on the ground is $45^{\circ}$. The distance of a house from $A$ is $x$ and the height of a house is $y$. Then $x>y$.
