angular height of 5m? what is angular height? Do you mean an angle of elevation of 5 degrees to their head? Better add some information here as presented in the problem.
Sorry, I meant to put say the person is 1.8 meters tall and they are standing far enough away to have an angular height of 5 degrees. The question then is how far away is the person.
tan 5 = 1.8/x
