Problem Statement
In a city, there are some buildings. We say the building is dominant to the building if the line that connects upside of to upside of makes an angle more than with earth. We want to make a building in a given location. Suppose none of the buildings are dominant to each other. Prove that we can make the building with a height such that again, none of the buildings are dominant to each other. (Suppose the city as a horizontal plain and each building as a perpendicular line to the plain.)
