Question

Can somebody please help me out:))

Answer 1

50ft

Explanation:

Hi,

Considering that one side is equal to 38 degrees, we know this isn't a 30 - 60 - 90 triangle.

One of the legs is equal to 40 feet

So, tan(b) = 40/x

tan(38 degrees) is 0.78 round up to 0.8 (if that's what your teacher wants)

0.8 = 40/x

0.8x = 40

x = 50ft

I hope this helps
