Answer:

1668 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the opposite side of the right triangle and we need the adjacent side, so we use the tangent function.

If the distance required is x  (adj side) we have:

tan 41 = opp/adj

tan 41 = 1450/x

x = 1450 / tan 41

= 1668.03

It is not a proportional relationship. As initial amount was $50 and every month he deposited $20 more. The ratio is not constant for the deposited amounts.

To make the relationship proportional, he must start with zero balance and then should have deposited $20 every month.
