Standing on top of a gentle 5degree slope I see the top of a tall building at an angle of elevation of 35degree 15’. I am 160 cm tall and it is 12 m from where I am standing to the foot of the building.
Calculate how tall the building is?

Use trigonometry after drawing lines parallel to the ground from the foot and head of the person.
$Building Height=12sin5^circ+1.6+12cos5^circtan35^circ15'$
Your answer is about 6.79686689258 meters.
