Answer:

39.9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve using the Trigonometric function of Tangent

The formula for angle of elevation =

tan θ = Opposite/Adjacent

θ = Angle of elevation = 35°

Adjacent = 57 feet

Height = Opposite = x

Hence,

tan 35 = x/57 ft

Cross Multiply

x = tan 35 × 57 ft

x = 39.911829678 ft

Approximately the height of the building = 39.9 ft
