A bird is flying at an altitude of 400 feet and descending to its nest located in a tree 20 feet above the ground. The angle from the nest to the bird is 24 degrees. Approximately how far is the bird from the nest.

ANSWER:
The answer is 934 If you make a right triangle with 380 as the height because the bird has 380 ft to go until the nest then you make the angle 24 opposite to that side. After you use sin to find the missing side which is 380/x= sin24 the answer you get is rounded.
