Answer:

The height of the building is H = 11.65 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance from the base of the building to the person = 50 yards

Angle of elevation = 25°

From Δ ABC

⇒ [tex]\tan 25 = \frac{H}{25}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]H = 25 \tan 25[/tex]

⇒ H = 11.65 yards

Therefore  the height of the building is H = 11.65 yards
