Complete question

A scientist is at spot that has An angle elevation of 25.4' top 223 foot all observation. How far is the scientist from the base of the observatory

Answer:

$X\approx469.64$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Angle of elevation
$\theta= 25.4'$

Height
H=223

Generally the equation for the Distance X is mathematically represented as

$X=(H)/(tan\theta)$

$X=(223)/(tan 25.4\textdegree)$

X=469.6369092

$X\approx469.64$

Therefore the distance is

$X\approx469.64$
