Answer 1

Answer: C) 70 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The depth of building's basement= 15 feet

Also, the height of building = 55 feet

Now, the length of the building from basement to roof is given by :-

$\text{L}=\text{ Depth of basement+Height of building }\\\\\Rightarrow\text{L}=\text{15 feet+55 feet}=70 feet$

Therefore the length of the building from basement to roof = 70 feet.

Answer 2
