Answer:

y = 242.4 ft

Explanation:

Look at the picture.

Use sine:

sine=(opposite)/(hypotenuse)

We have a measure of the angle and length of the hypotenuse:

$\alpha=29^o,\ hypotenuse=500\ ft$

$\sin29^o\approx0.48481$

Substitute:

(y)/(500)=0.48481 multiply both sides by 500

$y=242.405\to y\approx242.4$
