Answer: 55 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the building be 'h'.

Since building is standing vertical to the ground making right angle.

Then , the triangle formed is a right triangle .

The given angle of elevation : 32^{\circ}

Using trigonometry , we have

\tan\theta=\dfrac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}\\\\\tan(32^{\circ})=\dfrac{h}{88}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 0.6248693519=\dfrac{h}{88}\\\\\Rightarrow\ h=0.6248693519\times88=54.988502967\approx55\text{ meters}

Hence, the approximate height of the building = 55 meters
