See picture below for a geometric view.
Let x = height of building
We use basic trigonometry to find x.
The tangent function = opposite side of right triangle OVER adjacent side of right triangle.
tan(2°) = x/1
Solve for x.
After multiplying both sides by 1 (here 1 represents 1 mile), we get
tan(2°) = x.
We now use the calculator to find x.
In fact, you can take it from here. Use your calculator.

I think it is function also.
Answer: 6.4 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Height of Atlas V rocket = 205 feet
Ratio of the model = 1:32 = 1/32
Model / Real = 1/32
Since Real height = 205, we put it into the equation and this will be:
Model / Real = 1/32
Model / 205 = 1/32
Model × 32 = 205 × 1
Model = 205/32
Model = 6.4 feet
The height of the model is 6.4 feet.
