    Drawing it out from the top of the building as shown (we get 30 degrees because if the bottom angle is 60 and there's a right angle, 180-60-90=30), tan30=opposite/adjacent = 1/sqrt (3) = 50/x Multiplying each side by x and dividing by 1/sqrt (3), we get that

    x=50 / (1/sqrt (3)) = around 86.6 ft

    If it's 60 degrees instead of 30,

    tan60=opposite/adjacent = sqrt (3) = 50/x Multiplying each side by x and dividing by sqrt (3), we get that

    x=50/sqrt (3) = around 28.87
