Answer:

Height of building is 57.12 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us try to understand the given dimensions as per the attached diagram.

Please refer to attached image (Right angled \triangle OBT)

with \angle B =90^\circ

Let O be the point where the Surveyor is standing.

B be the point of the base of building.

T be the point of top of building.

As per question statement,

\angle O = 55^\circ

Side OB = 40 m

To find: Side BT = ?

Using tangent trigonometric identity:

tan\theta =\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}

tanO =\dfrac{BT}{BO}\\\Rightarrow tan55^\circ = \dfrac{BT}{40}\\\Rightarrow BT = tan55^\circ \times 40\\\Rightarrow BT =  1.43\times 40\\\Rightarrow BT = 57.12 m

So, height of building is 57.12 m.

Lostsunrise [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right angle triangle one angle is 90°

w.k.t sum of angles in a triangle is 180°

thus, 2x+15+x+90°=180°

3x+105°=180°

3x=75°

x= 75/3=25°

Hope this helps you.
