In order to better understand the question, let's draw an image representing the situation:

We want to find the distance x of this triangle. To do so, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the length of the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of each leg squared.

So we have:


\begin{gathered} 110^2=55^2+x^2 \\ 12100=3025+x^2 \\ x^2=12100-3025 \\ x^2=9075^{} \\ x=95.26\text{ ft} \end{gathered}

Rounding to the nearest tenth, we have a distance of 95.3 ft.
