Answer:

34.64 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance from the building = 20 ft

Angle of inclination = π/3 radians

The tangent of the angle of inclination must equal the height of the building divided by the distance of the observer from the building:

[tex]tan( \pi/3) = \frac{h}{20} \\h = 20*1.73205\\h=34.64\ ft[/tex]

The building is 34.64 ft tall
