I’m lost and unsure what is the first step to do find width of da roof

Answer:
You set up an equation, using the trig function "tan" to find half of the roof (the equation would be tan(24) = 3.5/x, where x = 1/2 roof width)
Step-by-step explanation:
That would be the first step.
You solve the equation for x, and then multiply x by 2 to get the width of the roof.
