Answer:

191.67 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

From. The attached picture :

Height x can be obtained using trigonometry :

Tan 22 = x / 200

0.4040262 = x / 200

x = 0.4040262 * 200

x = 80.805245 feets

For height, y :

Tan 29 = x / 200

0.5543090 = x / 200

y = 0.5543090 * 200

y = 110.86181 feets

Building height = x + y

Building height = 80.805245 + 110.86181 = 191.67 feets
