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
