To calculate the ideal mechanical advantage for an inclined plane, divide th length of the incline by the height of the incline.
Therefore; IMA = L/h
L= 3.0 m, while h =1.0 m
IMA = 3/1
= 3
Therefore the IMA of the ramp is 3
This means the ramp increases the force that is being exerted by 3 times.

Let $y_0$ be the height of the building and thus the initial height of the ball. The ball's altitude at time $t$ is given by

$y=y_0+\left(15\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin35^\circ\,t-\dfrac g2t^2$

where $g=9.80\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ is the acceleration due to gravity.

The ball reaches the ground when $y=0$ after $t=2.9\,\mathrm s$ . Solve for $y_0$ :

$0=y_0+\left(15\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin35^\circ(2.9\,\mathrm s)-\dfrac12\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(2.9\,\mathrm s)^2$

$\implies y_0\approx16.258\,\mathrm m$

so the building is about 16 m tall (keeping track of significant digits).
