Height\ of\ monument=555.5\ ft

Explanation:

In\ the\ digram\ AC\ is\ the\ monument\ and\ DE\ is\ the\ student.\\\\AC=AB+BC\\\\Let\ AB=x\\\\BC=Height\ of\ the\ eye\ of\ the\ student=DE=5\ ft\\\\\Rightarrow AC=x+5.................................eq(1)\\\\Student\ is\ standing\ at\ a\ distance\ of\ 25\ ft.\\\\CD=25\ ft\\\\BE=CD=25\ ft\\\\Angle\ of\ elevation=87.4\textdegree\\\\\angle AEB=87.4\textdegree\\\\Now\ in\ \triangle ABE\\\\\tan \angle AEB=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}=\frac{AB}{BE}\\\\\tan 87.4=\frac{x}{25}\\\\x=25\times \tan 87.4\\

x=25\times 22.02171001\\\\x=550.54275\ ft\approx 550.5\ ft\\\\Height\ of\ monument=AC=x+5\\\\Height\ of\ monument=550.5+5\\\\Height\ of\ monument=555.5\ ft

Though a flash flood may cause damage to buildings and habitats at first, buildings can be fixed and over time, wild flora and fauna will return to the area, often more plentiful, is there is a good amount of moisture <span />
