$\begin{array}{l} \tan 45^{\circ} = \frac{h}{x} \Rightarrow h = x \\ \tan 30^{\circ} = \frac{h}{x + 20} \\ (x + 20) \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = h \\ \Rightarrow h + 20 = \sqrt{3} h \\ h = \frac{20}{\sqrt{3} - 1} \end{array}$
$\begin{array}{l} h = \frac{20}{\sqrt{3} - 1} \times \frac{\sqrt{3} + 1}{\sqrt{3} + 1} \\ = \frac{20 (\sqrt{3} + 1)}{2} = 10 (\sqrt{3} + 1) \end{array}$
