The building is 95.6159m tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both the pole and the building should have the same ratio of height to shadow length so we can come up with the equation:

$\frac{2.6}{1.38}$ = $\frac{x}{50.75}$

Then solve for x, it will correspond to the height of the building.

x = 50.75( $\frac{2.6}{1.38}$ )

x = 95.6159m
