Answer:

<em>The building is 61.5 m tall</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The image below is a diagram where all the given distances and angles are shown. We have additionally added some variables:

h = height of the building

a, b = internal angles of each triangle

x  = base of each triangle

The angles a and b can be easily found by subtracting the given angles from 90° since they are complementary angles, thus:

a = 90° - 37° = 53°

b = 90° - 42° = 48°

Now we apply the tangent ratio on both triangles separately:

\displaystyle \tan a=\frac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}}

\displaystyle \tan 53^\circ=\frac{150-x}{h}

\displaystyle \tan 48^\circ=\frac{x}{h}

From the last equation:

x=h.\tan 48^\circ

Substituting into the first equation:

\displaystyle \tan 53^\circ=\frac{150-h.\tan 48^\circ}{h}

Operating on the right side:

\displaystyle \tan 53^\circ=\frac{150}{h}-\tan 48^\circ

Rearranging:

\displaystyle \tan 53^\circ+\tan 48^\circ=\frac{150}{h}

Solving for h:

\displaystyle h=\frac{150}{\tan 53^\circ+\tan 48^\circ}

Calculating:

h = 61.5 m

The building is 61.5 m tall
