Answer:

410.1 m

Explanation:

In a right triangle, the ratio of the side opposite an acute angle to the side adjacent to that acute angle is the tangent of the angle.

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

__

setup

tan(C) = BA/BC

tan(34°) = BA/(608 m) . . . . . . using the tangent relation with given values

solution

Multiplying both sides of the equation by (608 m) gives ...

(608 m)tan(34°) = BA

BA ≈ 410.101 m ≈ 410.1 m . . . . . rounded to tenths

_____

Additional comment

Other relations in the right triangle are ...

Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

These relations are collected in the mnemonic SOH CAH TOA.
