Answer: the building is 355.2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A right angle triangle is formed. The distance of the lamppost from the building represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle. The height of the building represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

To determine how tall the building is, h, we would apply apply

the Tangent trigonometric ratio.

Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,

Tan 36.4 = h/482

h = 482Tan36.4

h = 482 × 0.737

h = 355.2 feet
