    The datum level of this problem would be Jessica's eye level. If you visualize the diagram, it would create a right triangle. The base would be 150 feet and the opposite angle of the height is 84 degrees.

    Using the tangent function:

    tan84 = opposite side/adjacent side = h/150

    h = 150*tan84

    h = 1427.15 feet

    The total height would be added with 5 since the height of the building must obviously start from the ground, not eye level.

    h = 5 + 1427.15

    h = 1432.15 ft
