Answer:

79.9 ft

Solution,

Let AB is the Building and MA is Boy's height.

Suppose BC = X feet

In ∆MBC

[tex]tan \: 53 = \frac{ma + ab}{bc} \\ tan \: 53 = \frac{106}{x} \\ tan \: 53 \times x = 106 \\ x = \frac{106}{tan \: 53} \\ x = 79.9 \: ft[/tex]

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...
