Question

Hello can you help me solve this question and if you are reading this is a homework assignment

Answer 1

First, we are gonna calculate y

`\tan 15.8=\frac{y}{128\text{ ft}}`
`y=128\cdot\tan 15.8`
`y=36.22\text{ ft}`

Now the total height:

`\tan 32.7=\frac{h}{128\text{ ft}}`
`h=128\cdot\tan 32.7`
`h=82.17\text{ ft}`

Now x would be the difference h - y

`x=h-y`
`x=82.17-36.22\text{ ft}`
`x=45.95\text{ ft}`

x = 46 ft
