We can use the tangent of 50º. The height is approximately 95.34 ft

1) We can trace a right triangle over that mark and calculate that height, using a trigonometric ratio.

2) As we have the adjacent leg to that 50º angle and the opposite leg, we can use the tangent of 50º to find that height out.

[tex]\begin{gathered} \tan (50)=\frac{x}{80} \\ x=80\cdot\tan (50) \\ x\approx\text{ 95.34} \end{gathered}[/tex]

3) Hence the answer is
