Answer:

279 feet

Explanation:

To find x, we solve using the Trigonometric function of Tangent

tan θ = Opposite/ Adjacent

θ = 64°

Length of the shadow = Adjacent = 136 feet

Height of the building = Opposite = h

Hence,

tan 64 = h/136 feet

Cross Multiply

h = tan 64 × 136 feet

h = 278.84132245 feet

Approximately, h to the nearest foot ≈ 279 feet

Therefore, the height of the building = 279 feet
