Step-by-step explanation:

The given scenario can be drawn as shown in the following attachment.

Given that,

$m\angle DCE=\angle ACB$ and $m\angle DEC=\angle ABC=90^{\circ}$

Therefore, $\Delta ABC\sim \Delta DEC$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{AB}{DE}=\dfrac{BC}{EC}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{AB}{5}=\dfrac{15}{4}$

$\Rightarrow AB=\dfrac{15\times 5}{4}=18.75$ ft

AB is the height of the house.
