<h2>Answer:</h2>

The height of building is 21 m

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

According to the Pythagorus Theorem

(Hypotenuse)² = (Base)² + (Perpendicular)²

We need to find out the perpendiclar so arranging the equation

(Hypotenuse)² - (Base)² = (Perpendicular)²

Putting the values

(36)² - (29)² = (Perpendicular)²

1296 - 841 = (Perpendicular)²

455 = (Perpendicular)²

Taking Square root on both sides

√455 = √(Perpendicular)²

21.33 = Perpendicular

Rounding off the value is 21 m
