To solve this problem, I'll use trigonometric functions,

The trigonometric function that relates the opposite side and the hypotenuse is sine

Formula

sin 48 = Opposite side / hypotenuse

hypotenuse = 105 ft

opposite side = H

Substitution

sin 48 = H/105

Solve for H

H = 105*sin 48

Simplification

H = 105*0.743

Result

H = 78 ft
