The range finder is 112 feet from the building ( adjacent ) and 131 feet from the top of the building ( hypotenuse ).
We will use the Pythagorean theorem:
x² = 131² - 112²
x² = 17,161 - 12,544
x² = 4,617
x  = √ 4,617
x = 67.948
The height of the building:
h = x + 3 = 67.948 + 3 = 70.948 ≈ 70.9 ft ( to the nearest tenth )
Answer: h = 70.9 feet.

Scrat [10]
B) 12 inches would be the most accurate measurement. 

Since the ruler is exactly 1 foot long, the most accurate measurement is 12 inches. 12.005 is a tempting answer, since it is the most specific/exact, but 12 inches is the most accurate, since this is equal to exactly one foot.
