$\sqrt[4]{3. \sqrt[4]{432}}$
= $\sqrt[4]{3. \sqrt[4]{2^4.3^3} }$
= $\sqrt[4]{3.2.3^\frac{3}{4}}$
= $3^\frac{1}{4}.2^\frac{1}{4}.3^\frac{3}{16}$
= $3^\frac{7}{16}.2^\frac{1}{4}$

1. Check the sketch of the problem.

2. In right triangle DCE,

$tan50= \frac{EC}{DC}= \frac{x}{50}$

tan 50 can be found to be 1.19 using a scientific calculator or other software.

$1.19=\frac{x}{50}$

x=1.19*50=59.5 (feet)

3. The height of the building is 59.5+5=64.5 (feet)
