Answer :

Solution

Let the height of the bulding be h

The figure below illustrate the problem

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{From the trigonometric ratios} \\ \tan \text{ 32 = }\frac{\text{oposite}}{adjacent} \\ \tan 32=\frac{h}{200} \\ h=200\text{ x tan 32} \\ h=200(0.6249) \\ h=124.97m \\ h=125(\text{nearest foot)} \end{gathered}[/tex]
