    First calculate the time it takes to reach the building using the x-component of the velocity.

    t = 57.6 m / (42.7 m/s * cos35.2) = 1.65 s

    Then we calculate the height y using the y-component of the velocity:

    y = (42.7 m/s * sin35.2) * 1.65 s - 0.5 (9.81 m/s^2) (1.65 s) ^2

    y = 11.26 m
