Answer:

x=22.57 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

35 m in W of S

angle = 40 degrees

25 m in east

From the diagram

The angle


\theta=90-40=50^o

From the triangle OAB


cos40^o=(35^2+25^2-x^2)/(2* 35* 25)


1340.57=35^2+25^2-x^2

x=22.57 m

Therefore the answer of the above problem will be 22.57 m
