Answer:

Actual height of the building is 37.5 feet

Explanation:

Formula to be used to get the actual length of the building,

Scale used =
\frac{\text{Dimension of image (on map)}}{\text{Dimension of actual}} =
(1)/(30)

By this formula,


\frac{1.25}{\text{Actual height}}=(1)/(30)

Actual height of the building = 1.25 × 30

= 37.5 feet

Therefore, actual height of the building will be 37.5 feet.
