The answer is 492 feet.

If we picture the scenario as a right triangle, using trigonometric ratios, this problem can be solved.

cos 60° = x / 984

1/2 = x/984

x = 984/2

x = 492 feet

Enny’s mother is 5 years older than twice Jenny's age. The sum of their ages is 62 years. This is represented by the equation x

pickupchik [31]

X + 2x + 5 = 62 which can be turned into.
3x + 5 = 62
-5 -5 now we subtract 5 from each side
3x = 57
/3 /3 now we divide 3 from each side to get...
x = 19.
Now to check 19 + (2 x 19) + 5 does in fact equal 62. Jenny is 19 years old. Hope this helped.
