Question

hello can you help me solve this question and if you are reading this is a homework assignment

Answer 1

First, we are gonna calculate y

$\tan 15.8=\frac{y}{128\text{ ft}}$$y=128\cdot\tan 15.8$$y=36.22\text{ ft}$

Now the total height:

$\tan 32.7=\frac{h}{128\text{ ft}}$$h=128\cdot\tan 32.7$$h=82.17\text{ ft}$

Now x would be the difference h - y

$x=h-y$$x=82.17-36.22\text{ ft}$$x=45.95\text{ ft}$

x = 46 ft
