Answer:

7362.49 yards

Explanation:

Mauricio has a height of 2 yards

The building has a height of 906 yards from the ground

The height of the building from Mauricio's eye will be : 906 - 2 = 904 yards

The angle of elevation of the top of building from the viewer = 7°

Apply the formula for tangent of an angle where;

Tan ∅ = Opposite side height/Adjacent length

Tan 7° = height of building / viewer distance from base of building

Tan 7° = 904 / viewer distance from base of building

Viewer distance from base of building = 904/Tan 7°

=7362.48917089

=7362.49 yards
