Answer:
[tex] x = 5.1 yd [/tex]
Step-by-step Explanation:
Angle of depression is congruent to angle of elevation.
Therefore, angle of elevation of the given figure, which is opposite to x is 25°.
Adjacent length = 11 yd
Opposite length = x
Trigonometric ratio formula for finding x is shown below:
[tex] tan(25) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} [/tex]
[tex] tan(25) = \frac{x}{11} [/tex]
Multiply both sides by 11 to solve for x
[tex] 11*tan(25) = x [/tex]
[tex] 5.129 = x [/tex]
[tex] x = 5.1 yd [/tex] (to the nearest tenth)
