See the picture attached to better understand the problem
 we know that
in the right triangle ABC
tan 64°=AB/AC------> AB=AC*tan 64°-----> AB=x*tan 64°---> equation 1

in the right triangle ABD
tan 43°=AB/DA----> AB=DA*tan 43°---> AB=(240+x)*tan 43°---> equation 2

equate equation 1 and equation 2
x*tan 64°-=(240+x)*tan 43°---->x*tan 64=240*tan 43+x*tan 43
x*[tan 64-tan 43]=240*tan 43-----> x=240*tan 43/[tan 64-tan 43]
x=200.22 ft

AB=x*tan 64----> AB=200.22*tan 64-----> AB=410.51 ft

the answer is
410.51 ft

Answer:

1(5/16)=1.3125

7(5/16)=7.3125

26(5/16)=26.3125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 5/16=0.3125, the mixed fraction 1(5/16)=1+(5/16)=1+0.3125=1.3125

Also, 7(5/16)=7+(5/16)=7+0.3125=7.3125

Furthermore,

26(5/16)=26+(5/16)=26+0.3125=26.3125

In the same vein, given that 4/15=0.266

1(4/15)=1+(4/15)=1+0.266=1.266

17(4/15)=17+(4/15)=17+0.266=17.266

23(4/15)=23+(4/15)=23+0.266=23.266
