I think you may have copied the wrong diagram over? |dw:1606396442337:dw| https://us-static.z-dn.net/files/ddb/d57d378ac00a7b76a90f1b6df6b84832.jpg in this case, you have the angle, the adjacent side, and you want to find the opposite side therefore, the appropriate trig ratio is tan tan(theta) = opposite/adjacent, plug in the appropriate quantities and solve for the opposite side (a.k.a the height of the building)
