Answer:

The horizontal distance of Sosa is 276.526 ft or 84.28 meter.

Step-by-step explanation:

As shown in the figure, let point O is the starting point of Sosa. She travels 361 ft at an angle 50 degree with the horizontal.

sin 50 =
(OM)/(OP)

0.7660 = h / 361

h = 276.526 ft

h = 84.28 meter

The horizontal distance of Sosa is 276.526 ft or 84.28 meter.
