Answer:

92 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the unknown, which is the height of the building.

 

 

3.3 m       =    x          

1.78 m           49. 75 m

 

Solve for x.

 

(3.3 m) (49.75 m)    = x

      1.78 m

 

92.2331460674 = x

 

 

Rounded to the nearest meter, the building is 92 meters high.
