Answer:

The answer to your question is h = 125.85 ft = 126 ft

Explanation:

Process

1.- Determine two equations to solve the problem


tan 14 = (h)/(x) (1)


tan 47 = (h)/(x - 386) (2)

from (1) h = xtan14

substitute in (2) tan 47 =
(xtan14)/(x - 386)

solve for x tan47(x - 386) = xtan14

1.07x - 413.9 = 0.25x

1.07x - 0.25x = 413.9

0.82x = 413.9

x = 413.9/0.82

x = 504.76 ft

2.- Calculate h

h = 504.76 tan 14

h = 125.85 ft = 126 ft
