Answer:

Explanation:

we have a two right triangle, with one side 115

lets say that the other side of the big right triangle is y

-in the big triangle find the third angle

180 -90 -35 = 55, because the sum of all interior angles in a triangle is 180

tan 55 = opp. /adj= y / 115

y = 115 * tan 55

-in the small right triangle

tan 56 = opp./ adj. = 115 / y-x

y-x = 115/ tan 56 , subtract y from both sides

- x= -y +( 115/tan 56), multiply by -1 both sides

x= y -(115/tan56), substitute y for 115 * tan 55

x= (115*tan 55)- (115/tan56)

x≅86.6685
