Answer:

3.3 feet

Explanation:

Since this is a 90 degree triangle, we can use trigonometry to solve the missing length. The cosine of an angle is equal to the adjacent length over the hypotenuse.


cos(\theta)=(x)/(3.6)

Solving,


x=3.6cos(25) = 3.26

Rounding to the nearest tenth of a foot, 3.3 feet.
