Answer:

80.385

Explanation:

It requires you to use trigonometry. First, ask yourself, which of the angle relationship (between sin, cos, tan) that includes the triangle's "x" and "300", from the angle 15°.

It's tan, because in this case, tan 15° = x / 300.

You then set x = 300 tan 15°, type it on calculator, and voila you get the answer.
