Answer:

The height of the building is H = 11.65 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance from the base of the building to the person = 50 yards

Angle of elevation = 25°

From Δ ABC

⇒ \tan 25 = \frac{H}{25}

⇒ H = 25 \tan 25

⇒ H = 11.65 yards

Therefore  the height of the building is H = 11.65 yards

\bf -32+4x=5(-7+x)\implies -32+4x=\stackrel{\textit{distributing}}{-35+5x} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{subtracting 4x to both sides}}{-32=-35+x}\implies \stackrel{\textit{adding 35 to both sides}}{3=x}
