Answer:

Explanation:

SOH CAH TOA

use the trigonometry mnemonic (new monic) to help remember how sin cos and tan fit on the triangle

since you know the angle and you want to know the side opposite of that angle... and you know the side adjacent ( next to) the angle... use Tan

use the mnemonic to help

Tan(Ф)= Opp/ Adj ( we know two of these things and we want the 3rd :P )

Adj * Tan(25) = Opp

250 * Tan(25) = Opp

116.5769.... = Opp

x = 116.6 ft. approx. in the picture
