Answer:
x ≈ 261 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the sine ratio in the right triangle
sin50° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{200}{x}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by x )
x × sin50° = 200 ( divide both sides by sin50° )
x = [tex]\frac{200}{sin50}[/tex] ≈ 261 ft ( to the nearest foot )
