Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

This problem requires the use of trigonometric functions, specifically the tangent trig function.


tan(Angle)=(opposite)/(adjacent)

Plug in the values.


tan(40) = (8000)/(x)

Multiply by x to both sides, then divide by tan(40) to both sides.


x = (8000)/(tan(40))

Now, plug this into a calculator and rounded to the nearest whole number (foot).

x = 9534.0287

x = 9534 ft.

The answer is 9534 ft., the last option.
